## Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Experimental.GlobalIllumination;

public class LinearColorExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        // Initialize by setting each component
        LinearColor linearColor = default(LinearColor);
        linearColor.red = 1f;
        linearColor.green = 0.5f;
        linearColor.blue = 0f;
        linearColor.intensity = 16f;

        // Get normalized linear color from UnityEngine.Color
        // The conversion doesn't take the alpha component into account
        LinearColor covertedColor = LinearColor.Convert(new Color(1f, 0.5f, 0f, 0.5f), intensity : 16f);
    }
}
