Color

class compas.colors.Color(red, green, blue, alpha=1.0, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Data

Class for working with colors.

Parameters
  • red (float) – The red component in the range of 0-1.

  • green (float) – The green component in the range of 0-1.

  • blue (float) – The blue component in the range of 0-1.

  • alpha (float, optional) – Transparency setting. If alpha = 0.0, the color is fully transparent. If alpha = 1.0, the color is fully opaque.

Other Parameters

**kwargs (dict, optional) – See Data for more information.

Attributes
  • r (float) – Red component of the color in RGB1 color space.

  • g (float) – Green component of the color in RGB1 color space.

  • b (float) – Blue component of the color in RGB1 color space.

  • rgb (tuple[float, float, float]) – RGB1 color tuple, with components in the range 0-1.

  • rgb255 (tuple[int, int, int]) – RGB255 color tuple, with components in the range 0-255.

  • hex (str) – Hexadecimal color string.

  • hls (tuple[float, float, float]) – Hue, Lightness, Saturation.

  • hsv (tuple[float, float, float]) – Hue, Saturation, Value / Brightness.

  • lightness (float) – How much white the color appears to contain. This is the “Lightness” in HLS. Making a color “lighter” is like adding more white.

  • brightness (float) – How well-lit the color appears to be. This is the “Value” in HSV. Making a color “brighter” is like shining a stronger light on it, or illuminating it better.

  • is_light (bool) – If True, the color is considered light.
