[Release] color_palette_plus v2.0.0 - Supercharged Material 3 Theme Generation 🎨

Hey Flutter devs! I'm excited to announce the release of version 2.0.0 of color_palette_plus, a comprehensive Flutter library for color palette generation and theme management. This major update brings powerful Material 3 theme generation capabilities and a more robust color handling system.

What's New in 2.0.0?

🎯 Theme Generation

• New ThemeGenerator class for automatic theme generation following Material 3 guidelines

• Support for both light and dark themes with ThemePair

• Advanced theme customization through ThemeConfig

• Comprehensive color role system aligned with Material 3 specifications

🌈 Color Harmonies

• Monochromatic palettes for subtle, sophisticated looks

• Analogous color schemes for harmonious, unified designs

• Complementary colors for strong visual contrast

• Customizable harmony configurations (steps, angles, etc.)

⚡ Improved Color Handling

• Enhanced color transformation algorithms

• Better contrast ratios in generated shades

• Optimized HSL adjustments for natural color variations

• Type-safe and null-safe implementation

Features Overview

// Generate a complete theme
final theme = ThemeGenerator.generateTheme(
  baseColor,
  config: ThemeConfig(
    colorSchemeConfig: ColorSchemeConfig(
      harmonyType: HarmonyType.analogous,
      analogousAngle: 30,
      harmonySteps: 5,
    ),
  ),
);

// Generate both light and dark themes
final themePair = ThemeGenerator.generateThemePair(baseColor);

// Create color harmonies
final monochromaticColors = ColorPalettes.monochromatic(baseColor, steps: 5);
final analogousColors = ColorPalettes.analogous(baseColor, angle: 30);
final complementaryColors = ColorPalettes.complementary(baseColor);
