Description

• 

The Color procedure is a constructor for a color data structure.  This data structure is recognized by most ColorTools commands and many plot commands.

• 

The parameter colorspace can be any of the color spaces listed on the ColorTools/ColorSpaces help page.

• 

Color structures can be indexed as lists.  Two structures are considered equal only if their distance (in the CIE76 metric) is less than 10Digits2.

Examples

Colors can be constructed with names

ColorNiagara 1

RGB : 0.471 0 0.0549

(1)

ColorHSV,Niagara 1

HSV : 0.981 1 0.471

HSV : 0.5 0.6 0.6

(4)

ColorXYZ,0.5,0.6,0.6
