Extract colors

🖖 Hue and Saturation (state_attr('light.x','hs_color')

{%- set h = (state_attr('light.desk','hs_color') | list )[0] -%}
  # hue : {{ h }}
{%- set s = (state_attr('light.desk','hs_color') | list )[1] -%}
  # saturation : {{ s }}

🖐 Red, Green and Blue state_attr('light.x','rgb_color')

{%- set r = (state_attr('light.desk','rgb_color') | list )[0] -%}
  # red : {{ r }}
{%- set g = (state_attr('light.desk','rgb_color') | list )[1] -%}
  # green : {{ g }}
{%- set b = (state_attr('light.desk','rgb_color') | list )[2] -%}
  # blue : {{ b }}

Convert colors in Jinja template

RGB to HEX

👈 example input (0,0,255) — returns 0000ff

{%- set r = 0 -%}
{%- set g = 0 -%}
{%- set b = 255 -%}

hex : {{ '%02x%02x%02x' | format(r, g, b) }} - or - {{'%02x'%r+'%02x'%g+'%02x'%b}} 

HEX to RGB

👈 example input ff0000 — returns (255, 0, 0)

{%- set rr = 'ff' -%}
{%- set gg = '00' -%}
{%- set bb = '00' -%}

rgb : {{r | int(base=16), g | int(base=16), b | int(base=16)}}

HS to RGB

👈 example input hsv(240,100,100) — returns (0, 0, 255)

{%- set h = (state_attr('light.desk','hs_color') | list )[0]  -%}
{%- set s = 100 -%}
{%- set v = (state_attr('light.desk','hs_color') | list )[1] -%}

s stays at 100. Because you only get 2 values from light in HA. An 🕯️ emitting light does not have saturation, it has 🔆 brightness.

👉 hs_color(h,s) -> rgb : {{ (r, g, b) | list }} 👈

{%- set h = 360 -%}
{%- set s = 100 -%}
{%- set v = 100 -%}
{%- set i = (h * 6 ) | round(2,'floor') -%}
{%- set f = h * 6  - i  -%}
{%- set p = v * (1 - s) -%}
{%- set q = v * (1 - f * s) -%}
{%- set t = v * (1 - (1 - f) * s) -%}
{%- if i % 6 == 0 -%}
  {%- set r = v | int -%}
  {%- set g = t | int -%} 
  {%- set b = p | int -%}
{%- elif i % 6 == 1 -%}
  {%- set r = q | int -%}
  {%- set g = v | int -%}
  {%- set b = p | int -%}
{%- elif i % 6 == 2 -%}
  {%- set r = p | int -%}
  {%- set g = v | int -%}
  {%- set b = t | int -%}
{%- elif i % 6 == 3 -%}
  {%- set r = p | int -%}
  {%- set g = q | int -%}
  {%- set b = v | int -%}
{%- elif i % 6 == 4 -%}
  {%- set r = t | int -%}
  {%- set g = p | int -%}
  {%- set b = v | int -%}
{%- elif i % 6 == 5 -%}
  {%- set r = v | int -%}
  {%- set g = p | int -%}
  {%- set b = q | int -%}
{%- endif -%}

rgb : {{ (r, g, b) | list }}
