ColorMixin

Defined in FrameXML/Util.lua, the ColorMixin interface represents a color with red, green, blue and optional alpha.

Construction

CreateColor(r, g, b [, a]) - Creates a new color with three or four values between 0 and 1.
CreateColorFromHexString(hexColor) - Creates a new color from a string of eight hexademical characters as AARRGGBB.
CreateColorFromBytes(r, g, b, a) - Creates a new color with four values between 0 and 255.

ColorMixin:GetRGB() - Returns three values between 0 and 1.
ColorMixin:GetRGBA() - Returns three or four values between 0 and 1.
ColorMixin:GetRGBAsBytes() - Returns three values between 0 and 255.
ColorMixin:GetRGBAAsBytes() - Returns four values between 0 and 255.
ColorMixin:SetRGB(r, g, b) - Changes the color using new values between 0 and 1, while setting alpha to nil.
ColorMixin:SetRGBA(r, g, b [,a ]) - Changes the color and alpha using new values between 0 and 1.

ColorMixin:GenerateHexColor() - Returns ff followed by six hexadecimal characters representing the color (ignoring alpha).
ColorMixin:GenerateHexColorMarkup() - Returns an escape sequence usable in front of text to set its color (ignoring alpha).
ColorMixin:WrapTextInColorCode(text) - Wraps the text with |cAARRGGBB and |r escape sequences (ignoring alpha).

ColorMixin:IsEqualTo(otherColor) - Indicates if two colors have equal red, green, blue and alpha components.

local color = CreateColor(1, 1, 0)
print("Did someone say " .. color:WrapTextInColorCode("yellow") .. "?")   -- Did someone say yellow?
