# linear

> A linear value of an sRGB color.

## Definition

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

```csharp
public Color linear { get; }
```

### Remarks

Colors are typically expressed in sRGB color space. This property returns "linearized" color value, i.e. with inverse of sRGB gamma curve applied.

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

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