Definition

public struct Color : IEquatable<Color>, IFormattable

Remarks

This structure is used throughout Unity to pass colors around. Each color component is a floating point value with a range from 0 to 1.
Components (Color.r,Color.g,Color.b) define a color in RGB color space. Alpha component (Color.a) defines transparency - alpha of one is completely opaque, alpha of zero is completely transparent.

Examples

using UnityEngine;public class ColorExample : MonoBehaviour{    void Start()    {        // Initialize with RGB        Color redColor = new Color(1f, 0f, 0f);        // Initialize with RGBA        Color blueWithAlpha = new Color(0f, 0f, 1f, 0.5f);        // Initialize with hex        ColorUtility.TryParseHtmlString("#00FF00", out Color greenFromHex);        // Initialize with HSV        float hue = 0.6f;        float saturation = 0.9f;        float value = 0.7f;        Color fromHSV = Color.HSVToRGB(hue, saturation, value);        // Use some of the preset colors        Color cornflower = Color.cornflowerBlue;        Color lawn = Color.lawnGreen;        Color lemon = Color.lemonChiffon;        Color violet = Color.violet;        // Create complementary color        Color complementary = new Color(            1f - redColor.r,            1f - redColor.g,            1f - redColor.b        );        // Lerp between colors        Color lerpedColor = Color.Lerp(redColor, blueWithAlpha, 0.5f);        // Darken color        Color darkercolor = lerpedColor * 0.8f;        // Lighten color        Color lighterColor = lerpedColor + Color.white * 0.2f;    }}
