Does anybody know, off the top of your heads, a Javascript solution for calculating the complementary colour of a hex value?
There are a number of colour picking suites and palette generators on the web but I haven't seen any that actually calculate the colour dynamically using JS.
A detailed hint or a snippet would be very much appreciated.

Pelorus I find that taking the bit-wise complement works well, and quickly.
var color = 0x320ae3;
var complement = 0xffffff ^ color;
I'm not sure if it's a perfect complement in the sense of "mixes together to form a 70% grey", however a 70% grey is "pure white" in terms of color timing in film. It occurred to me that XORing the RGB hex out of pure white might be a good first approximation. You could also try a darker grey to see how that works for you.
Again, this is a fast approximation and I make no guarantees that it'll be perfectly accurate.
See https://github.com/alfl/textful/blob/master/app.js#L38 for my implementation.

It takes a hex value, converts it to HSL, shifts the hue 180 degrees and converts back to Hex

Pelorus Rather than reinventing the wheel, I found a library to work with colors.

Pelorus There's a much simpler way to get the complementary color than converting back and forth between RGB and HSV/HSL (same results though):
function complement(r, g, b) {
const m = Math.min(r, g, b) + Math.max(r, g, b);
return [m - r, m - g, m - b];
}
All the way from hex:
function hexComplement(rgb) {
rgb = Number.parseInt(rgb.substring(1), 16);
const [r, g, b] = complement(rgb >> 16, (rgb >> 8) & 0xff, rgb & 0xff);
return '#' + ((r << 16) | (g << 8) | b).toString(16).padStart(6, '0');
}
Usefuls simple and elegant solution, but unfortunately rgb complement does not work well for black, i.e., rgb(0,0,0). Needed this for Bootstrap cards created with JS loop for all colors in provided in "json-color-names.json", so instead of the given solution, just calculated rgb components as: 255-r, 255-g, 255-b, or simply by using template literals:
return `rgb(${255-r},${255-g},${255-b})`;
But, this one doesn't give good result for gray rgb(128,128,128). So, I'd say that satisfactory results are achievable with other more complicated solutions or libraries, of which some are mentioned above, but when seeking for short and simple solution just to achieve text color different from the background, this might be the one, with just some formula tweaking (maybe by using mod or some other function).
