Color Attributes

Color

Any one of the following:

• Hexadecimal. A color represented as #RRGGBB; a hash sign followed by 6 hexadecimal digits, a pair for the intensity level 0 to 250 in hexadecimal of Red, Green and Blue. This is the same format used for describing colors in HTML. Example: #A482BF
• Named Colors. The name of a color that either comes pre-defined in Tinderbox, or which you have defined for this Tinderbox document using the Colors pane of the attribute palette. Examples: blue, red, minty-fresh-green.
• HSV (Hue-Saturation-Value) value. Hue - a value from 0 to 360 degrees; Saturation and Value - a value from 0 to 100 percent. Enclosed in parentheses and preceded by 'hsv'. Examples: HSV(0,100,50), HSV(240,80,80).
• RGB (Red-Green-Blue). Intensity levels represented as integers from 0 to 250. Enclosed in parentheses and preceded by 'rgb'. Examples: rgb(0,0,0) and rgb(68,153,68)

If no default value is specified, a Color type defaults to an empty string (which is treated by Tinderbox as the value 'normal'). In some cases, Tinderbox will show a dark red color as a 'not initialised' color value; it is hex color code #6f0000, though its derivation as a value is not clear.
