Class Color

A universally compatible Color for .NET 7, .NET 6, .NET 5, and .NET Core. As well as compatibility with Windows, NanoServer, IIS, macOS, Mobile, Xamarin, iOS, Android, Google Compute, Azure, AWS, and Linux.

Works nicely with popular Image Color such as System.Drawing.Color, SkiaSharp.SKColor, SixLabors.ImageSharp.Color, Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Color.

Implicit casting means that using this class to input and output Color from public APIs gives full compatibility to all Color-types fully supported by Microsoft.

FromArgb(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)

Creates a Color structure from the specified 8-bit color values (alpha, red, green, and blue). Although this method allows a 32-bit value to be passed for each color component, the value of each component is limited to 8 bits.

Declaration
public static Color FromArgb(int alpha, int red, int green, int blue)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 alpha

The alpha value for the new Color. Valid values are 0 through 255.
System.Int32 red

The red component value for the new Color. Valid values are 0 through 255.
System.Int32 green

The green component value for the new Color. Valid values are 0 through 255.
System.Int32 blue

The blue component value for the new Color. Valid values are 0 through 255.
Returns
Type Description
Color

FromName(String)

Creates a Color structure from the name of a color.

Declaration
public static Color FromName(string name)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String name

A string that is the name of a predefined color.
Returns
Type Description
Color

The Color that this method creates. If the color name is found, the corresponding known Color is returned; otherwise, a Color representing transparent black (A=0, R=0, G=0, B=0) is returned.
Remarks

This method mimics the behavior of System.Drawing.Color.FromName for compatibility. Unlike previous versions, this method no longer throws an exception for unknown color names.

The IsKnownColor property will be set to true only if the name matches a predefined color in the KnownColor enumeration.

Color name comparison is case-insensitive. Both "Red" and "red" will return the same color.

Examples
Color red = Color.FromName("Red");        // Returns known red color, IsKnownColor = true
Color unknown = Color.FromName("Foo");    // Returns transparent black, IsKnownColor = false

GetBrightness()

Calculates the brightness of a color.

Declaration
public double GetBrightness()
Returns
Type Description

GetHashCode()

Declaration
public override int GetHashCode()
Returns
Type Description

GetLuminance()

Luminance is a value from 0 (black) to 100 (white) where 50 is the perceptual "middle grey". Luminance = 50 is the equivalent of Y = 18.4, or in other words a 18% grey card, representing the middle of a photographic exposure.

Declaration
public double GetLuminance()
Returns
Type Description
System.Double

Preceived Lightness

ToArgb()
