## Detailed Description

Utility class for manipulating RGBA colors.

sf::Color is a simple color class composed of 4 components:

- Red
- Green
- Blue
- Alpha (opacity)

Each component is a public member, an unsigned integer in the range [0, 255]. Thus, colors can be constructed and manipulated very easily:

sf::Color color(255, 0, 0); // red
color.r = 0; // make it black
color.b = 128; // make it dark blue

The fourth component of colors, named "alpha", represents the opacity of the color. A color with an alpha value of 255 will be fully opaque, while an alpha value of 0 will make a color fully transparent, whatever the value of the other components is.

The most common colors are already defined as static variables:

sf::Color black = sf::Color::Black;
sf::Color white = sf::Color::White;
sf::Color red = sf::Color::Red;
sf::Color green = sf::Color::Green;
sf::Color blue = sf::Color::Blue;
sf::Color yellow = sf::Color::Yellow;
sf::Color magenta = sf::Color::Magenta;
sf::Color cyan = sf::Color::Cyan;
sf::Color transparent = sf::Color::Transparent;

Colors can also be added and modulated (multiplied) using the overloaded operators + and *.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

sf::Color::Color | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

Constructs an opaque black color. It is equivalent to sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 255).

sf::Color::Color | ( | Uint8 | red,
|  | Uint8 | green,
|  | Uint8 | blue,
|  | Uint8 | alpha = `255`
| ) |  |

Construct the color from its 4 RGBA components.

Parameters

  red | Red component (in the range [0, 255])
  green | Green component (in the range [0, 255])
  blue | Blue component (in the range [0, 255])
  alpha | Alpha (opacity) component (in the range [0, 255])

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

bool operator!= | ( | const Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the != operator.

This operator compares two colors and check if they are different.

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  True if colors are different, false if they are equal

Color operator* | ( | const Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the binary * operator.

This operator returns the component-wise multiplication (also called "modulation") of two colors. Components are then divided by 255 so that the result is still in the range [0, 255].

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  Result of left * right

Color & operator*= | ( | Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the binary *= operator.

This operator returns the component-wise multiplication (also called "modulation") of two colors, and assigns the result to the left operand. Components are then divided by 255 so that the result is still in the range [0, 255].

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  Reference to left

Color operator+ | ( | const Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the binary + operator.

This operator returns the component-wise sum of two colors. Components that exceed 255 are clamped to 255.

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  Result of left + right

Color & operator+= | ( | Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the binary += operator.

This operator computes the component-wise sum of two colors, and assigns the result to the left operand. Components that exceed 255 are clamped to 255.

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  Reference to left

Color operator- | ( | const Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the binary - operator.

This operator returns the component-wise subtraction of two colors. Components below 0 are clamped to 0.

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  Result of left - right

Color & operator-= | ( | Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the binary -= operator.

This operator computes the component-wise subtraction of two colors, and assigns the result to the left operand. Components below 0 are clamped to 0.

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  Reference to left

bool operator== | ( | const Color & | left,
|  | const Color & | right
| ) |  |
| related

Overload of the == operator.

This operator compares two colors and check if they are equal.

Parameters

  left | Left operand
  right | Right operand

Returns
  True if colors are equal, false if they are different
