PepperColor is a developer color assistant for smooth and easy app design. (Pepper color app coming soon)
You don't have to think of colors in HEX much, pepperColor handles most things to start create colorful design following the material color design guidelines and beyond. It removes boilerplate codes for colors.
- PepperColor comes with fully inbuilt list of material colors you can use in your XML and JAVA as well as Kotlin just by calling it.
- You can create gradients with just 1(one) line of code instantly.

dependencies {
compile 'com.oluwatobi.android:peppercolor:2.1'
}
COMPILE WITH MAVEN
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oluwatobi.android</groupId>
<artifactId>peppercolor</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>

where AMBER is the color name. and 200 is the shade. Allowing to choose from several shades of colors.
USING JAVA
To get list of colors, use - e.g PepperColors.BLUE400.
For single colors, use - new PepperSingleColors().start(params) or new PepperSingleColors.Builder()
For gradients, use - new PepperGradient.Builder()
For Blends, use - PepperBlend.Builder()
FOR SINGLE COLORS (example) 1st method
setBackgroundColor(new PepperSingleColor().start(PepperColors.ORANGE800));
setBackgroundColor(new PepperSingleColor().start(PepperColors.ORANGE800, int transparency));
2nd method
setBackgroundColor(new PepperSingleColor.Builder().setColor(PepperColors.PINK100).setTransparency(40).build());
NOTE - Transparency should be within in 5, 10, 15,20 -- 100.
FOR GRADIENTS
setBackground(new PepperGradient().start(PepperColors.ORANGE100
,PepperColors.GREEN400,
GradientDrawable.Orientation.TR_BL
,GradientDrawable.LINEAR_GRADIENT
));
```
WHERE A. (GradientShape is optional : default - GradientDrawable.LINEAR_GRADIENT)
B. (GradientOrientation is optional : default - Gradient.Orienatation.TR_BL).
FOR BLENDS
Method 1 -
setBackgroundColor(new PepperBlend().start(PepperColors.GREEN200,PepperColors.AMBER600, 0.8f));
Method 2 -
``` java
setBackgroundColor(new PepperBlend.Builder()
.setColorOne(PepperColors.BLUE700)
.setColorTwo(PepperColors.DEEP_PURPLE100)
.setRatio(0.4f)
.build());
