+# Color Parser
+
+Parse colors in multiple formats (hex, rgb, hsl, hsv) using [tinycolor2](https://github.com/bgrins/TinyColor).
+
+Install the parser using the CLI or copy/paste above, then use it in your components:
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic hex color
+
+```tsx
+import { useQueryState } from 'nuqs'
+import { parseAsHex } from '~/lib/parsers/color'
+
+function ColorPicker() {
+  const [color, setColor] = useQueryState(
+    'color',
+    parseAsHex().withDefault('#0055ff')
+  )
+  
+  return (
+    <input
+      type="color"
+      value={color}
+      onChange={(e) => setColor(e.target.value)}
+    />
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Different output formats
+
+```tsx
+import { parseAsRgb, parseAsHsl, parseAsHsv } from '~/lib/parsers/color'
+
+// RGB output
+const [color] = useQueryState('color', parseAsRgb().withDefault('rgb(0, 85, 255)'))
+
+// HSL output
+const [color] = useQueryState('color', parseAsHsl().withDefault('hsl(220, 100%, 50%)'))
+
+// HSV output
+const [color] = useQueryState('color', parseAsHsv().withDefault('hsv(220, 100%, 100%)'))
+```
+
+### Short hex format
+
+```tsx
+import { parseAsHex } from '~/lib/parsers/color'
+
+const [color, setColor] = useQueryState(
+  'color',
+  parseAsHex(true).withDefault('#05f') // true = short format
+)
+// Returns #05f instead of #0055ff when possible
+```
+
+### Theme customizer
+
+```tsx
+import { useQueryStates } from 'nuqs'
+import { parseAsHex, parseAsRgb } from '~/lib/parsers/color'
+
+function ThemeEditor() {
+  const [colors, setColors] = useQueryStates({
+    primary: parseAsHex().withDefault('#0055ff'),
+    secondary: parseAsHex(true).withDefault('#f0f'),
+    background: parseAsRgb().withDefault('rgb(255, 255, 255)')
+  })
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <input
+        type="color"
+        value={colors.primary}
+        onChange={(e) => setColors({ primary: e.target.value })}
+      />
+      {/* ... */}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+## Accepted input formats
+
+The parser accepts any valid color format that tinycolor2 supports:
+
+- **Hex**: `#fff`, `#ffffff`, `fff`, `ffffff`
+- **RGB**: `rgb(255, 255, 255)`, `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)`
+- **HSL**: `hsl(0, 0%, 100%)`, `hsla(0, 0%, 100%, 0.5)`
+- **HSV**: `hsv(0, 0%, 100%)`, `hsva(0, 0%, 100%, 0.5)`
+- **Named**: `white`, `red`, `blue`, etc.
+
+Invalid colors return `null`.
+
+## URL serialization
+
+All colors are automatically serialized to 6-character hex format (without `#`) in URLs:
+
+```
+// User input: rgb(255, 0, 0)  → URL: ?color=ff0000
+// User input: hsl(120, 100%, 50%) → URL: ?color=00ff00
+// User input: blue → URL: ?color=0000ff
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `parseAsColor(options?)`
+
+Main parser with configuration options.
+
+**Options:**
+- `format?: 'hex' | 'rgb' | 'hsl' | 'hsv'` - Output format (default: `'hex'`)
+- `short?: boolean` - Use short hex format when possible (default: `false`)
+
+### Convenience parsers
+
+- `parseAsHex(short?)` - Parse as hex color
+- `parseAsRgb()` - Parse as RGB color  
+- `parseAsHsl()` - Parse as HSL color
+- `parseAsHsv()` - Parse as HSV color
+
+## Why tinycolor2?
+
+- **Lightweight**: Only 5kB minified + gzipped
+- **Comprehensive**: Supports all common color formats
+- **Battle-tested**: Widely used in production
+- **Simple API**: Easy to use and understand
+- **Type-safe**: TypeScript definitions included
