+## Features
+
+- **Universal parser** — `normalizeColor()` accepts hex (3/4/6/8-digit), `rgb()` / `rgba()`, `hsl()` / `hsla()`, `hwb()`, `oklch()` / `oklcha()`, `color(display-p3 ...)`, CSS named colors (all 148), and plain `{r,g,b}` / `{h,s,l}` objects
+- **Conversions** — every path between hex, RGB, HSL, HSV, HWB, Lab, LCH, Oklab, Oklch, CMYK, Display P3; all round-trip accurate
+- **Manipulation** — `lighten`, `darken`, `saturate`, `desaturate`, `invertColor`, `grayscale`, `setAlpha`, `rotateHue`, `adjustHexBrightness`
+- **Mixing & Interpolation** — `mixColors` and `interpolateColors` in 6 color spaces with 4 hue interpolation modes; `createColorScale` across multiple anchor colors with custom positions; `midpointColor` for a perceptual midpoint
+- **Color Harmonies** — `complement`, `triadic`, `analogous`, `splitComplementary`, `tetradic`
+- **Palette Generation** — `colorShades`, `monochromatic`, `tints`, `shades`, `tones` — all Oklab-accurate where applicable
+- **WCAG Accessibility** — `relativeLuminance`, `contrastRatio`, `wcagLevel`, `bestTextColor`, `bestContrastColor`, `bestContrastPalette`, `isReadableOnBackground` (solid, semi-transparent, and gradient backgrounds)
+- **Color Blindness Simulation** — protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia using Vienot 1999 matrices on linear RGB
+- **Perceptual color distance** — `colorDeltaE` implementing the full CIEDE2000 formula
+- **CSS Formatting** — `toHslString`, `toHwbString`, `toOklchString`, `toColorP3String`
+- **Cache** — LRU-style `normalizeColorCached`; `getCacheStats`, `clearColorCache`, `enableCache` / `disableCache`
+- **Generator functions** — `generateGradientColors*`, `generateTints*`, `generateShades*` for lazy iteration without pre-allocating arrays
+- **CLI (`cvt`)** — inspect any color from the terminal: full info, all conversions, WCAG contrast, shades, harmonies, nearest named color
+- **Zero dependencies** — no runtime deps; ships as tree-shakeable ESM + CommonJS

+## TypeScript types
+
+All public types are exported from the package root:
+
+```ts
+import type {
+  ColorType,            // 'hex' | 'css-var' | 'rgb' | 'hsl' | 'named' | 'oklch' | 'color' | 'unknown'
+  WcagLevel,            // 'AAA' | 'AA' | 'AA-large' | 'fail'
+  ColorBlindnessType,   // 'protanopia' | 'deuteranopia' | 'tritanopia'
+  BackgroundSpec,       // string | { type: 'semi-transparent'; ... } | { type: 'gradient'; ... }
+  PaletteScore,         // { palette, minContrastRatio, avgContrastRatio }
+} from 'color-value-tools'
+```
+
+### `BackgroundSpec` — discriminated union
+
+```ts
+import type { BackgroundSpec } from 'color-value-tools'
+
+const solid: BackgroundSpec = '#3498db'
 
-const accent = randomColor({ hRange: [200, 260], sRange: [60, 80], lRange: [40, 60] });
-const palette = colorShades(accent, 5);
+const semiTransparent: BackgroundSpec = {
+  type: 'semi-transparent',
+  color: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.4)',
+  underlay: '#ffffff',     // optional, defaults to white
+}
+
+const gradient: BackgroundSpec = {
+  type: 'gradient',
+  stops: ['#1a1a2e', '#e94560', '#f5a623'],
+}
 ```
 
+### `PaletteScore` — from `bestContrastPalette`
+
+```ts
+import type { PaletteScore } from 'color-value-tools'
+
+const result: PaletteScore & { paletteIndex: number } = bestContrastPalette(bg, palettes)
+result.paletteIndex      // number
+result.palette           // string[]
+result.minContrastRatio  // number
+result.avgContrastRatio  // number
+```
+
+### Inference from `normalizeColor`
+
+```ts
+import { normalizeColor } from 'color-value-tools'
+
+const n = normalizeColor('#3498db')
+// TypeScript knows: n.hex, n.r, n.g, n.b, n.h, n.s, n.l, n.v, n.a, n.type
+
+if (n.type !== 'unknown' && n.type !== 'css-var') {
+  const r: number = n.r!  // available for all resolved color types
+}
