Color

Color objects contain three values: red, blue, and green.

Each of these values is an integer between 0 and 255 (inclusive).

Example Usage

# A color with red=25, green=50, and blue=200.
myColor = Color(25, 50, 200)
# Another color with red=200, green=205, blue=0.
myOtherColor = Color(200, 205, 0)

# This will change myColor to have RGB values of (100, 50, 200)
myColor.setRed(100)

# This will change myOtherColor to have RGB values of (200, 205, 25)
myOtherColor.setBlue(25)

# This will compute the distance between the two colors.
distance = myColor.colorDistance(myOtherColor)

# This will print the distance, which happens to be 254.2636427018224.
print(distance)

Initialization

Color.Color(self, red, green, blue)
Parameters:
  • red (int) – between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
  • green (int) – between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
  • blue (int) – between 0 and 255 (inclusive).

To construct a color object called c:

c = Color(red, green, blue)

Methods

This function computes the Euclidean distance between two colors to measure how different they are.

Color.colorDistance(self, other)
color_dist = color.colorDistance(otherColor)

Getters

These functions allow you to get color values from color objects.

Color.getRGB(self)
red, green, blue = color.getRGB()
Color.getRed(self)
red = color.getRed()
Color.getGreen(self)
green = color.getGreen()
Color.getBlue(self)
blue = color.getBlue()

Setters

These functions allow you to change color values in color objects.

Color.setRed(self, red)
Parameters:red (int) – between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
color.setRed(red)
Color.setGreen(self, green)
Parameters:green (int) – between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
color.setGreen(green)
Color.setBlue(self, blue)
Parameters:blue (int) – between 0 and 255 (inclusive).
color.setBlue(blue)

You can create your own colors, but there are many already built-in!
