<li><code>findColorInvert($color)</code>: returns either 70% transparent black or 100% opaque white depending on the luminance of the color</li>
<li><code>findLightColor($color)</code>: returns the current color but with a lightness of at <em>least</em> 96%</li>
<li><code>findDarkColor($color)</code>: returns the current color but with a lightness of at <em>most</em> 29%</li>
</ul>

Bulma also has a few utility functions to calculate useful values:
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>powerNumber($number, $exp)</code>: calculates the value of a number exposed to another one. Returns a number</li>
<li><code>colorLuminance($color)</code>: defines if a color is dark or light. Return a decimal number between 0 and 1 where <= 0.5 is dark and > 0.5 is light</li>
<p>The <code>findColorInvert($color)</code> function takes a <strong>color</strong> as an input, and outputs either transparent <strong>black</strong><code>rgba(#000, 0.7)</code> or <strong>white</strong><code>#fff</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li>if <code>colorLuminance($color) > 0.55</code>, it outputs <code>rgba(#000, 0.7)</code></li>
<li>otherwise, it outputs <code>#fff</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Its purpose is to guarantee a <strong>readable</strong> shade for the <em>text</em> when the input color is used as the <em>background</em>.</p>
For colors that have a luminance close to the <code>0.55</code> threshold, it can be useful to <strong>override</strong> the <code>findColorInvert()</code> function, and rather set the invert color <strong>manually.</strong>
<br>
For example, this shade of <spanclass="bd-color"style="background: hsl(294, 71%, 79%); float: none; height: 16px; width: 16px; margin-right: 0; vertical-align: middle;"></span> purple has a color luminance of <code>0.5529</code>. It can be preferable to set a color invert of white instead of transparent black:

The <code>findLightColor($color)</code> and <code>findDarkColor($color)</code> functions take a <strong>color</strong> as an input, and output that color's light and dark versions respectively</code>:
