+2. License Grants and Conditions
+--------------------------------
+
+2.1. Grants
+
+Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license:
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
+    as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
+    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
+    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+2.2. Effective Date
+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+# webcolor-labels
+
+Zero-dependency, plug-and-play library that enables #hex-color syntax for your own types!
+
+![Demo image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haskell-game/webcolor-labels/refs/heads/master/images/demo.png)
+
+## Motivation
+
+[Unrestricted OverloadedLabels syntax](https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0170-unrestricted-overloadedlabels.rst) was implemented in GHC 9.6.1. It isn't hard to notice
+that this syntax is a strict superset of hexadecimal CSS color syntax, a.k.a. [Web colors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors). It would be great if GUI libraries could take advantage of this
+fact and allow their users to write `#f00` for the color "red," or even `#red`, right?
+
+That's where `webcolor-labels` comes into play. This library implements type-level string parsing and validation
+and provides you an easy-to-use interface for defining an `IsLabel` instance. In fact, it's as easy as counting
+one, two, three:
+
+```haskell
+-- one
+import WebColor.Labels
+import GHC.OverloadedLabels
+
+-- two
+instance IsWebColorAlpha s => IsLabel s YourColor where
+  fromLabel = webColorAlpha @s yourColorFromWord8
+
+-- three
+yourColorFromWord8 :: Word8 -> Word8 -> Word8 -> Word8 -> YourColor
+yourColorFromWord8 red green blue alpha = ...
+```
+
+And that's all!
+
+## Syntax
+
+Allowed colors aim to follow the [Wikipedia Web Colors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors) page; here is a quick recap:
+
+A color is written as a hex triplet, which is a six-digit (e.g., #fa12c7) or eight-digit (e.g., #fa12c7aa) hexadecimal number. The bytes represent the red, green, blue, and optional alpha channels of the color; hence we have #rrggbbaa.
+
+It is possible to use the shorthand form with three and four digits: #f8c = #ff88cc and #f8c3 = #ff88cc33.
+
+The syntax also supports 16 basic colors for convenience:
+
+| Color name | Hex value |
+| :--------- | :-------: |
+| #white     | #FFFFFF |
+| #silver    | #C0C0C0 |
+| #gray      | #808080 |
+| #black     | #000000 |
+| #red       | #FF0000 |
+| #maroon    | #800000 |
+| #yellow    | #FFFF00 |
+| #olive     | #808000 |
+| #lime      | #00FF00 |
+| #green     | #008000 |
+| #aqua      | #00FFFF |
+| #teal      | #008080 |
+| #blue      | #0000FF |
+| #navy      | #000080 |
+| #fuchsia   | #FF00FF |
+| #purple    | #800080 |
+
+Hex triplet form is case-insensitive; therefore, #fff is the same as #FFF, but basic colors are case-sensitive.
+That means #red is the same as #f00, but #RED and #Red result in a compile-time error.
+
+## FAQ
+
+### I want to use this syntax with _$LIBRARYNAME_, what should I do?
+
+`webcolor-label`'s primary users are other library authors; therefore, you should go to the _$LIBRARYNAME_'s issue tracker and tell them that `webcolor-labels` will improve the lives of their users.
+
+Alternatively, you may write an orphan instance, but it's a bad idea in general and you should avoid that as much as possible.
+
+### `generic-lens` uses the same syntax. Does that mean it will conflict with an instance defined using `webcolor-labels`?
+
+No, unless you define a highly polymorphic `IsLabel` instance or your color is a type alias for a function.
+
+The `generic-lens` instance applies only if a function is expected in place of `#label`. Therefore, define instances with a concrete head, and everything will work smoothly.
+
+### But what about instances for the color types from different libraries? Might they conflict?
+
+No, if each instance is defined correctly.
+
+### I have a type class to represent colors. How can I use `#` syntax with a function that accepts my type class?
+
+Unfortunately, my library just doesn't fit this use case. It's the same problem as `show . read`; GHC just can't infer a type in the middle.
+
+### I want to use different/custom values for named colors, but `webcolor-labels` provides pre-installed values. What should I do in that case?
+
+You can still use type-level parsing from `webcolor-labels` and build custom routing on top of that, but you have to lower that into values yourself.
+

+= Introduction and intended usage
+
+This library contains a small number of helpers that primarily aim
+to help users construct `IsLabel` instances to use @-XOverloadedLabels@
+syntax to construct their color types using widely known web color syntax.
+
+There are two ways to use this API:
+
+1. Simple type-class-based API
+
+2. Advanced manual type-family-based API
+
+You should always prefer the simple API.
+
+== Simple API
+
+You should use the simple API to write an `IsLabel` instance for your own
+type representing a color.
+
+Depending on whether your type supports representing the alpha channel, you should
+choose between `IsWebColor` and `IsWebColorAlpha` type classes.
+
+Therefore, it's likely that you want to write an instance that looks like this:
+
+@
+data RGBA = MkRGBA { red :: `Word8`, green :: `Word8`, blue :: `Word8`, alpha :: `Word8` }
+
+instance `IsWebColorAlpha` s => `IsLabel` s RGBA where
+  `fromLabel` = `webColorAlpha` @s \r g b a ->
+      MkRGBA { red = r, green = g, blue = b, alpha = a }
+@
+
+Or this in case your type doesn't have an alpha channel:
+
+@
+data RGB = MkRGB { red :: `Word8`, green :: `Word8`, blue :: `Word8` }
+
+instance `IsWebColor` s => `IsLabel` s RGB where
+  `fromLabel` = `webColor` @s \r g b ->
+      MkRGB { red = r, green = g, blue = b }
+@
+
+Please do not try to use `IsWebColor` if your type can represent either
+RGB or RGBA colors; use `IsWebColorAlpha` and alternate data construction
+depending on the value of the alpha channel:
+
+@
+data Color
+  = MkRGB { red :: `Word8`, green :: `Word8`, blue :: `Word8` }
+  | MkRGBA { red :: `Word8`, green :: `Word8`, blue :: `Word8`, alpha :: `Word8` }
+
+instance `IsWebColorAlpha` s => `IsLabel` s RGBA where
+  `fromLabel` = `webColorAlpha` @s \r g b a ->
+      if a `==` 255
+        then MkRGB { red = r, green = g, blue = b }
+        else MkRGBA { red = r, green = g, blue = b, alpha = a }
+@
+
+== Advanced API
+
+It's always recommended to use the simple API unless you want to drop
+named colors for some reason or want to work with raw `KnownNat`s.
+
+There are four main type families:
+
+* `ParseWebColor`
+* `ParseWebColorAlpha`
+* `ParseWebColorMaybeAlpha`
+* `ParseHexadecimalColor`
+
+The first two correspond to the output of `IsWebColor` and `IsWebColorAlpha` type
+classes listed in the previous section.
+
+`ParseWebColorMaybeAlpha` allows you to alternate behavior between presence and
+absence of the alpha channel in the input. Please let me know if you have a use case
+for this and why you can't simply consider 255 alpha as an RGB color.
+
+`ParseHexadecimalColor` converts hexadecimal strings of length 3, 4, 6, and 8 into
+correct color channels but doesn't accept named colors.
+
+In general, you give a parsing function a symbol argument and match results using the equality
+operator:
+
+@
+f :: `ParseWebColorAlpha` s ~ '(r,g,b,a) => ...
+@
+
+After that, you can set various constraints on the results. For example, this is how you can
+convert given values into a 32-bit number without any runtime computations:
+
+@
+{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds, NoStarIsType, AllowAmbiguousTypes #-}
+
+f ::  forall s r g b a w32.
+      `ParseWebColorAlpha` s ~ '(r,g,b,a) =>
+      ((r * 0x100 + g) * 0x100 + b) * 0x100 + a ~ w32 =>
+      `KnownNat` w32 => `Word32`
+f = `fromInteger` `$` `natVal` (`Proxy` @w32)
+@
+
+== To advanced end users
+
+If you're an advanced Haskell user. If you think that rules are just "recommendations."
+If you're ready to face possible breakages just for slight usability improvements.
+Then I present you a footgun.
+
+It is possible to write orphan instances for `IsWebColor` and `IsWebColorAlpha` type classes
+to extend #-syntax with custom named colors, just like this:
+
+@
+instance `IsWebColor` "gold" where
+  `webColor` k = k 255 215 0
+
+instance `IsWebColorAlpha` "gold" where
+  `webColorAlpha` k = k 255 215 0 255
+@
+
+I'm not going to guarantee you anything. Enjoy!

+-- A longer description of the package.
+description:
+  This library contains a small number of helpers that primarily aim
+  to help users construct `IsLabel` instances to use @-XOverloadedLabels@
+  syntax to construct their color types using widely known web color syntax.
+
+  Plug this library into your code, enable OverloadedLabels and use
+  #fff, #1212bc44, and even #fuchsia to create colors.
