Color definitions

HEX Colors

A hexadecimal color is specified with: #RRGGBB, where the RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) hexadecimal integers specify the components of the color. All values range from 00 to FF, and are case-insensitive.

Alpha channel

To specify an alpha channel, add two more hexadecimal digits in front of the color code: #AARRGGBB where AA is the alpha channel. The alpha channel defines the transparency of a color and ranges from 00 (fully transparent) to FF (fully opaque).

Shorthand HEX

You can use shorthand HEX codes with 3 or 4 digits. The library will automatically expand them to the full 6 or 8-digit format. For example, #123 will be expanded to #112233 and #89AB to #8899AABB.

You can also omit the hash sign (#) at the beginning of the color code.

WARNING

Please be aware that in some software the alpha channel is specified at the end of the color code, e.g. #RRGGBBAA.
