Color

Color

Color in RGBA format using floats on the range of 0 to 1.

Description

A color represented by red, green, blue, and alpha (RGBA) components. The alpha component is often used for opacity. Values are in floating-point and usually range from 0 to 1. Some properties (such as CanvasItem.modulate) may accept values greater than 1 (overbright or HDR colors).

You can also create a color from standardized color names by using @GDScript.ColorN or directly using the color constants defined here. The standardized color set is based on the X11 color names.

If you want to supply values in a range of 0 to 255, you should use @GDScript.Color8.

Note: In a boolean context, a Color will evaluate to false if it’s equal to Color(0, 0, 0, 1) (opaque black). Otherwise, a Color will always evaluate to true.

Default

255

Wrapper for a that uses the range 0 to 255 instead of 0 to 1.

float b

Default

0.0

The color’s blue component, typically on the range of 0 to 1.

int b8

Default

0

Wrapper for b that uses the range 0 to 255 instead of 0 to 1.

float g

Default

0.0

The color’s green component, typically on the range of 0 to 1.

int g8

Default

0

Wrapper for g that uses the range 0 to 255 instead of 0 to 1.

Default

0.0

The HSV hue of this color, on the range 0 to 1.

float r

Default

0.0

The color’s red component, typically on the range of 0 to 1.

int r8

Default

0

Wrapper for r that uses the range 0 to 255 instead of 0 to 1.

float s

Default

0.0

The HSV saturation of this color, on the range 0 to 1.

float v

Default

0.0

The HSV value (brightness) of this color, on the range 0 to 1.

Method Descriptions

Color Color ( String from )

Constructs a color from an HTML hexadecimal color string in ARGB or RGB format. See also @GDScript.ColorN.

# Each of the following creates the same color RGBA(178, 217, 10, 255).
var c1 = Color("#ffb2d90a") # ARGB format with "#".
var c2 = Color("ffb2d90a") # ARGB format.
var c3 = Color("#b2d90a") # RGB format with "#".
var c4 = Color("b2d90a") # RGB format.

Color Color ( int from )

Constructs a color from a 32-bit integer in RGBA format (each byte represents a color channel).

var color = Color(274) # Similar to Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.004, 0.07)

Color Color ( float r, float g, float b )

Constructs a color from RGB values, typically between 0 and 1. Alpha will be 1.

var color = Color(0.2, 1.0, 0.7) # Similar to Color8(51, 255, 178, 255)

Color Color ( float r, float g, float b, float a )

Constructs a color from RGBA values, typically between 0 and 1.

var color = Color(0.2, 1.0, 0.7, 0.8) # Similar to Color8(51, 255, 178, 204)

Color blend ( Color over )

Returns a new color resulting from blending this color over another. If the color is opaque, the result is also opaque. The second color may have a range of alpha values.

var bg = Color(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5) # Green with alpha of 50%
var fg = Color(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5) # Red with alpha of 50%
var blended_color = bg.blend(fg) # Brown with alpha of 75%

Color contrasted ( )

Returns the most contrasting color.

var color = Color(0.3, 0.4, 0.9)
var contrasted_color = color.contrasted() # Equivalent to RGBA(204, 229, 102, 255)

Color darkened ( float amount )

Returns a new color resulting from making this color darker by the specified percentage (ratio from 0 to 1).

var green = Color(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
var darkgreen = green.darkened(0.2) # 20% darker than regular green

Color from_hsv ( float h, float s, float v, float a=1.0 )

Constructs a color from an HSV profile. h, s, and v are values between 0 and 1.

var color = Color.from_hsv(0.58, 0.5, 0.79, 0.8) # Equivalent to HSV(210, 50, 79, 0.8) or Color8(100, 151, 201, 0.8)

float get_luminance ( )

Returns the luminance of the color in the [0.0, 1.0] range.

This is useful when determining light or dark color. Colors with a luminance smaller than 0.5 can be generally considered dark.

float gray ( )

Returns the color’s grayscale representation.

The gray value is calculated as (r + g + b) / 3.

var color = Color(0.2, 0.45, 0.82)
var gray = color.gray() # A value of 0.466667

Color inverted ( )

Returns the inverted color (1 - r, 1 - g, 1 - b, a).

var color = Color(0.3, 0.4, 0.9)
var inverted_color = color.inverted() # Equivalent to Color(0.7, 0.6, 0.1)

bool is_equal_approx ( Color color )

Returns true if this color and color are approximately equal, by running @GDScript.is_equal_approx on each component.

Color lightened ( float amount )

Returns a new color resulting from making this color lighter by the specified percentage (ratio from 0 to 1).

int to_abgr32 ( )

Returns the color converted to a 32-bit integer in ABGR format (each byte represents a color channel). ABGR is the reversed version of the default format.

var color = Color(1, 0.5, 0.2)
print(color.to_abgr32()) # Prints 4281565439

int to_abgr64 ( )

Returns the color converted to a 64-bit integer in ABGR format (each word represents a color channel). ABGR is the reversed version of the default format.

var color = Color(1, 0.5, 0.2)
print(color.to_abgr64()) # Prints -225178692812801

int to_argb32 ( )

Returns the color converted to a 32-bit integer in ARGB format (each byte represents a color channel). ARGB is more compatible with DirectX.

var color = Color(1, 0.5, 0.2)
print(color.to_argb32()) # Prints 4294934323

int to_argb64 ( )

Returns the color converted to a 64-bit integer in ARGB format (each word represents a color channel). ARGB is more compatible with DirectX.

var color = Color(1, 0.5, 0.2)
print(color.to_argb64()) # Prints -2147470541

String to_html ( bool with_alpha=true )

Returns the color’s HTML hexadecimal color string in ARGB format (ex: ff34f822).

Setting with_alpha to false excludes alpha from the hexadecimal string.

var color = Color(1, 1, 1, 0.5)
var s1 = color.to_html() # Returns "7fffffff"
var s2 = color.to_html(false) # Returns "ffffff"

int to_rgba32 ( )

Returns the color converted to a 32-bit integer in RGBA format (each byte represents a color channel). RGBA is Godot’s default format.

var color = Color(1, 0.5, 0.2)
print(color.to_rgba32()) # Prints 4286526463

int to_rgba64 ( )

Returns the color converted to a 64-bit integer in RGBA format (each word represents a color channel). RGBA is Godot’s default format.

var color = Color(1, 0.5, 0.2)
print(color.to_rgba64()) # Prints -140736629309441
