Colors¶

ColorString¶

#RGB defines a color in hexadecimal format.

#RGBA defines a color in hexadecimal format and alpha channel.

#RRGGBB defines a color in hexadecimal format.

#RRGGBBAA defines a color in hexadecimal format and alpha channel.

Named colors are also supported and are equivalent to CSS Color Module Level 4. To specify the value of the alpha channel, append #AA to the end of the color name (e.g. colorname#08). For named colors the hexadecimal string representing the alpha value must (always) be two hexadecimal digits.

ColorSpec¶

A ColorSpec specifies a 32-bit color. It can be written in any of the following forms:

• table form: Each element ranging from 0..255 (a, if absent, defaults to 255):
  • colorspec = {a=255, r=0, g=255, b=0}
• numerical form: The raw integer value of an ARGB8 quad:
  • colorspec = 0xFF00FF00
• string form: A ColorString (defined above):
  • colorspec = "green"
