Markdown

React

You can wrap the image in a React component (or any templating engine) for generating documentation.

import React from 'react'

export default ({
  foreground,
  background,
  ...props
}) =>
  <img
    {...props}
    src={`https://contrast.now.sh/${foreground}/${background}`}
    alt='color contrast indicator'
  />

RGB

Compare two rgb values, or an rgb and a hex value:
