Overview
strcolor is a Flutter package that enables developers to convert color names into Color objects using simple string inputs. Instead of relying on predefined Colors constants, it allows intuitive color naming (e.g., 'red', 'blue', 'purple') for easier and more readable code. The package supports a wide range of common color names and simplifies color management in UI design. It’s lightweight and ideal for projects where dynamic or human-readable color references are preferred.
