Chapter 14.7.2. More Ways to Get a Color

In addition to the general Color.fromString, you can directly call functions for each form of color specification. These functions are as follows:

• Color.fromHexString(hexString)

• Color.fromHSL(hue, saturation, lightness, alpha=1.0)

• Color.fromHSLString(hslString)

• Color.fromHSV(hue, saturation, value, alpha=1.0)

• Color.fromName(name) (W3C CSS3 color module name for the color. transparent is also accepted)

• Color.fromRGB(red, green, blue, alpha=1.0)

• Color.fromRGBString(rgbString)

MochiKit also has factories for a number of common colors:

• Color.blackColor()

• Color.blueColor()

• Color.brownColor()

• Color.cyanColor()

• Color.darkGrayColor()

• Color.grayColor()

• Color.greenColor()

• Color.lightGrayColor()
