color()

   
Examples  
color c1 = color(102, 102, 0); 
fill(c1); 
noStroke(); 
rect(30, 20, 55, 55); 
Description   Creates colors which may be stored in variables of the color datatype. The parameters are interpreted as RGB or HSB values depending on the current colorMode(). The default mode is RGB values from 0 to 255 and therefore, the function call color(255, 204, 0) will return a bright yellow color. The color() function packs the information input through its parameters into a 32 bit number in the following order AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGBBBBBBBB where R is the red/hue value, G is green/saturation, and B is blue/brightness.
   
Syntax  
color(value1, value2, value3)
color(value1, value2, value3, alpha)
   
Parameters  
value1   int or float: red or hue values relative to the current color range

value2   int or float: green or saturation values relative to the current color range

value3   int or float: blue or brightness values relative to the current color range

alpha   int or float: relative to current color range

   
Returns   color
