+
+Data::Faker::Colour - Generate random colours
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Data::Faker::Colour;
+
+ local $, = ' ';
+ my $f = Data::Faker::Colour->new;
+ say 'Random colour: ', $f->colour_hex;
+ say 'Three random colours of 60% lightness: ',
+ $f->colour_hsluv_hex(3, -1, -1, 60);
+ say 'A colour with 70% saturation, in CSS format: ',
+ $f->colour_hsluv_css(1, -1, 70);
+ say '5 colours with hue 120 and lightness 45%: ',
+ $f->colour_hsluv_hex(5, 150, -1, 45);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module is a plugin for Data::Faker for generating random colours.
+It uses the HSLuv colour space to permit generation of colours with
+specific hue, saturation, or lightness values. One use case would be
+generating colour schemes.
+
+It is recommended to use this without Data::Faker, as Data::Faker does
+not currently pass arguments to methods.
+
+=head1 DATA PROVIDERS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<colour>([I<$cnt>])
+
+Generate I<$cnt> (default 1) random colours.
+Returns a list of 3-element arrayrefs, representing the R, G, and B
+components, each ranging 0-255.
+
+=item B<colour_hex>([I<$cnt>])
+
+As above, but returns a list of strings like C<#rrggbb>.
+
+=item B<colour_css>([I<$cnt>])
+
+As above, but returns a list of strings like C<rgb(r, g, b)>.
+
+=item B<colour_hsluv>([I<$cnt>, I<$H>, I<$S>, I<$L>])
+
+Generates I<$cnt> (default 1) random colours using the HSLuv colour
+space. You can specify your desired hue, saturation and/or lightness,
+and all generated colours will have that hue/saturation/lightness.
+
+Set I<$H>, I<$S>, I<$L> to a positive value to request a specific
+hue/saturation/lightness, or to -1 for a randomly chosen one. They all
+default to -1.
+
+=item B<colour_hsluv_hex>([I<$cnt>, I<$H>, I<$S>, I<$L>])
+
+=item B<colour_hsluv_css>([I<$cnt>, I<$H>, I<$S>, I<$L>])
+
+As above but with hex/css output.
+
+=back
+
+C<color> can be substituted for C<colour> in any of the methods above.
