# [name]

Class representing a color.

Iterating through a [name] instance will yield its components (r, g, b) in the corresponding order.

## Code Examples

A Color can be initialised in any of the following ways:

`//empty constructor - will default white const color1 = new THREE.Color(); //Hexadecimal color (recommended) const color2 = new THREE.Color( 0xff0000 ); //RGB string const color3 = new THREE.Color("rgb(255, 0, 0)"); const color4 = new THREE.Color("rgb(100%, 0%, 0%)"); //X11 color name - all 140 color names are supported. //Note the lack of CamelCase in the name const color5 = new THREE.Color( 'skyblue' ); //HSL string const color6 = new THREE.Color("hsl(0, 100%, 50%)"); //Separate RGB values between 0 and 1 const color7 = new THREE.Color( 1, 0, 0 );`

## Constructor

### [name]( [param:Color_Hex_or_String r], [param:Float g], [param:Float b] )

[page:Color_Hex_or_String r] - (optional) If arguments [page:Float g] and [page:Float b] are defined, the red component of the color. If they are not defined, it can be a [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Hex_triplet hexadecimal triplet] (recommended), a CSS-style string, or another `Color` instance.
[page:Float g] - (optional) If it is defined, the green component of the color.
[page:Float b] - (optional) If it is defined, the blue component of the color.
Note that standard method of specifying color in three.js is with a [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Hex_triplet hexadecimal triplet], and that method is used throughout the rest of the documentation.
When all arguments are defined then [page:Color_Hex_or_String r] is the red component, [page:Float g] is the green component and [page:Float b] is the blue component of the color.
When only [page:Color_Hex_or_String r] is defined:

- It can be a [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Hex_triplet hexadecimal triplet] representing the color (recommended).
- It can be an another Color instance.
- It can be a CSS-style string. For example:
  - 'rgb(250, 0,0)'
  - 'rgb(100%,0%,0%)'
  - 'hsl(0, 100%, 50%)'
  - '#ff0000'
  - '#f00'
  - 'red'

Sets this color to be the color linearly interpolated between [page:Color color1] and [page:Color color2] where alpha is the percent distance along the line connecting the two colors - alpha = 0 will be [page:Color color1], and alpha = 1 will be [page:Color color2].

### [method:this lerpHSL]( [param:Color color], [param:Float alpha] )

[page:Color color] - color to converge on.
[page:Float alpha] - interpolation factor in the closed interval `[0, 1]`.
Linearly interpolates this color's HSL values toward the HSL values of the passed argument. It differs from the classic [page:.lerp] by not interpolating straight from one color to the other, but instead going through all the hues in between those two colors. The alpha argument can be thought of as the ratio between the two colors, where 0.0 is this color and 1.0 is the first argument.

### [method:this set]( [param:Color_Hex_or_String r], [param:Float g], [param:Float b] )

[page:Color_Hex_or_String r] - (optional) If arguments [page:Float g] and [page:Float b] are defined, the red component of the color. If they are not defined, it can be a [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Hex_triplet hexadecimal triplet] (recommended), a CSS-style string, or another `Color` instance.
[page:Float g] - (optional) If it is defined, the green component of the color.
[page:Float b] - (optional) If it is defined, the blue component of the color.
See the Constructor above for full details about possible arguments. Delegates to [page:.copy], [page:.setStyle], [page:.setRGB] or [page:.setHex] depending on input type.

### [method:this setFromVector3]( [param:Vector3 vector] )

Sets this colors's [page:.r r], [page:.g g] and [page:.b b] components from the x, y, and z components of the specified [page:Vector3 vector].

### [method:this setHex]( [param:Integer hex], [param:string colorSpace] = SRGBColorSpace )

[page:Integer hex] — [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#Hex_triplet hexadecimal triplet] format.
Sets this color from a hexadecimal value.

### [method:this setHSL]( [param:Float h], [param:Float s], [param:Float l], [param:string colorSpace] = LinearSRGBColorSpace )

Sets color from HSL values.

### [method:this setRGB]( [param:Float r], [param:Float g], [param:Float b], [param:string colorSpace] = LinearSRGBColorSpace )

[page:Float r] — Red channel value between `0.0` and `1.0`.
[page:Float g] — Green channel value between `0.0` and `1.0`.
[page:Float b] — Blue channel value between `0.0` and `1.0`.
Sets this color from RGB values.

### [method:this setScalar]( [param:Float scalar] )

[page:Float scalar] — a value between `0.0` and `1.0`.
Sets all three color components to the value [page:Float scalar].

### [method:this setStyle]( [param:String style], [param:string colorSpace] = SRGBColorSpace )

[page:String style] — color as a CSS-style string.
Sets this color from a CSS-style string. For example, "rgb(250, 0,0)", "rgb(100%, 0%, 0%)", "hsl(0, 100%, 50%)", "#ff0000", "#f00", or "red" ( or any [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names#Color_name_chart X11 color name] - all 140 color names are supported ).
Translucent colors such as "rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)" and "hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 0.5)" are also accepted, but the alpha-channel coordinate will be discarded.
Note that for X11 color names, multiple words such as Dark Orange become the string 'darkorange'.

### [method:this setColorName]( [param:String style], [param:string colorSpace] = SRGBColorSpace )

[page:String style] — color name ( from [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names#Color_name_chart X11 color names] ).
Sets this color from a color name. Faster than [page:.setStyle] method if you don't need the other CSS-style formats.
For convenience, the list of names is exposed in Color.NAMES as a hash: `Color.NAMES.aliceblue // returns 0xF0F8FF`

### [method:this sub]( [param:Color color] )

Subtracts the RGB components of the given color from the RGB components of this color. If this results in a negative component, that component is set to zero.

### [method:Array toArray]( [param:Array array], [param:Integer offset] )

[page:Array array] - An optional array to store the color to.
[page:Integer offset] - An optional offset into the array.
Returns an array of the form [ r, g, b ].

### [method:Number toJSON]()

This methods defines the serialization result of [name]. Returns the color as a hexadecimal value.
