Struct Color

Source

#[repr(C)]pub struct Color {
    pub r: f32,
    pub g: f32,
    pub b: f32,
    pub a: f32,
}

Expand description

An RGBA colour. Components lie in [0.0, 1.0].

Colours are expressed in sRGB, the way a colour picker states them. The conversion to linear (Color::to_linear) happens at the last moment, at the GPU boundary, because the render surface is sRGB (see the colour-management milestone).

Fields§

§r: f32

The red channel, sRGB, in [0.0, 1.0].

§g: f32

The green channel, sRGB, in [0.0, 1.0].

§b: f32

The blue channel, sRGB, in [0.0, 1.0].

§a: f32

The alpha channel: 0.0 fully transparent, 1.0 fully opaque.

Implementations§

Source §

impl Color

Source

pub const BLACK: Color

Opaque black.

Source

pub const WHITE: Color

Opaque white.

Source

pub const TRANSPARENT: Color

Fully transparent black — the alpha is 0.0, so the RGB channels never show.

Source

pub const fn rgb(r: f32, g: f32, b: f32) -> Color

Builds an opaque colour.

Source

pub const fn rgba(r: f32, g: f32, b: f32, a: f32) -> Color

Builds a colour with an alpha channel.

Source

pub const fn rgb8(r: u8, g: u8, b: u8) -> Color

Builds an opaque colour from 8-bit components (0..=255).

Source

pub const fn rgba8(r: u8, g: u8, b: u8, a: u8) -> Color

Builds a colour from 8-bit components (0..=255).

Source

pub fn try_hex(s: &str) -> Option<Color>

Parses a CSS hex code (sRGB values), with or without a leading #.

Accepted formats: #RGB, #RGBA, #RRGGBB, #RRGGBBAA, in either case. Returns None if the string is invalid. See Color::hex for the convenient variant, which panics on invalid input.

Source

pub fn hex(s: &str) -> Color

Builds a colour from a CSS hex code (see Color::try_hex).

Panics if the string is invalid — convenient for known literals such as Color::hex("#3B82F6"). For dynamic input, prefer try_hex.

Source

pub const fn to_array(self) -> [f32; 4]

The [r, g, b, a] array form, ready for the GPU.

Source

pub fn fade(self, opacity: f32) -> Color

Multiplies the opacity (alpha channel) by opacity, clamped to 0.0..=1.0.

Source

pub fn with_alpha(self, alpha: f32) -> Color

Replaces the alpha channel (clamped to 0.0..=1.0), leaving RGB alone.

Source

pub const fn from_argb_u32(argb: u32) -> Color

Builds a colour from an 0xAARRGGBB integer (alpha first).

Source

pub fn compute_luminance(self) -> f32

Relative luminance (WCAG), computed on the linearised channels — the basis of any contrast calculation. Ignores alpha. Result in [0, 1].

Source

pub fn to_linear(self) -> Color

The linear version of this colour (Color values are sRGB). Apply this before handing anything to the GPU: an sRGB target re-encodes linear back to sRGB, so sending linear values reproduces the colour you asked for. Alpha is left unchanged.

Source

pub fn to_srgb(self) -> Color

The inverse of Color::to_linear: linear → sRGB.

Source

pub fn lerp(self, other: Color, t: f32) -> Color

Linear interpolation towards other (t clamped to 0.0..=1.0).

Source

pub fn surface_tint(self, tint: Color, elevation: f32) -> Color

The surface tint for a raised surface: self with tint laid over it at the opacity Material 3 gives that elevation.

A raised surface in Material 3 is not lit, it is tinted. A shadow says a thing is above the page; the tint says how far, and it is what keeps a raised card legible against a dark background where a shadow shows nothing at all.

The opacities are the specification’s own table, interpolated between its levels and clamped outside them (see surface_tint_opacity).

The blend is a plain channel mix, not the framework’s usual warning about translucency: the result here is an opaque colour computed once and handed to the renderer to paint, so nothing is composited and there is no linear-space step to get wrong. Laying the tint on as a translucent layer instead would go through compositing and come out darker — the same trap as every other token with an alpha.

A fully transparent tint leaves the surface alone, as the reference’s does.
