## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public float grayscale { get; }
```

### Remarks

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Color newColor = new Color(0.3f, 0.4f, 0.6f);
        print(newColor.grayscale);
    }
}
```
