+# Chroma
+
+Chroma is a color manipulation and palette generation library. It is heavily
+inspired by and a very close Ruby port of the
+[tinycolor.js](https://bgrins.github.io/TinyColor/)
+library. Many thanks to [Brian Grinstead](http://www.briangrinstead.com/blog/)
+for his hard work on that library.
+
+Chroma is in alpha stage at the moment. Most of the API methods from tinycolor
+have been ported over with a few exceptions. However, I will be working on
+cleaning up the API where needed, adding docs and examples, and adding tests
+before a first release. Because this is currently in alpha, please be
+prepared for possible API changes or bugs.
+
+Please don't hesitate to examine the code and make issues or pull requests
+where you feel it is necessary. Please refer to the
+[Contributing](#contributing) section below.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'chroma', '0.0.1.alpha.1'
+```
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install chroma
+
+## Usage
+
+Chroma adds several of the methods available in
+[tinycolor.js](https://github.com/bgrins/TinyColor) but renamed appropriately
+for Ruby conventions (i.e. `isDark` becomes `dark?`).
+
+To create a color, just call the `Chroma.paint` method, passing in a string
+that represents a color.
+
+```ruby
+Chroma.paint 'red'                    # named colors
+Chroma.paint '#00ff00'                # 6 character hexadecimal
+Chroma.paint '#00f'                   # 3 character hexadecimal
+Chroma.paint 'rgb(255, 255, 0)'       # rgb
+Chroma.paint 'rgba(255, 255, 0, 0.5)' # rgba
+Chroma.paint 'hsl(60, 100%, 50%)'     # hsl with percentages
+Chroma.paint 'hsl(60, 1, 0.5)'        # hsl with decimals
+Chroma.paint 'hsv(60, 100%, 50%)'     # hsv with percentages
+Chroma.paint 'hsv(60, 1, 0.5)'        # hsv with decimals
+```
+
+To work directly from a string you can also use the `String#paint` method:
+
+```ruby
+'red'.paint
+'#00f'.paint
+'rgb(255, 255, 0)'.paint
+
+# etc...
+```
+
