Implementations

impl Color

pub fn from_hex(hex: &str) -> Result<Self, &'static str>

Creates a Color from a hex string.

Supports multiple formats:

• 1 digit: "F" or "#F" → grayscale RGB(255, 255, 255)
• 3 digits: "F53" or "#F53" → RGB(255, 85, 51)
• 6 digits: "FF5733" or "#FF5733" → RGB(255, 87, 51)

The # prefix is optional. Parsing is case-insensitive.

Examples

let white = Color::from_hex("#F")?;      // RGB(255, 255, 255)
let gray = Color::from_hex("8")?;        // RGB(136, 136, 136)
let red = Color::from_hex("#F00")?;      // RGB(255, 0, 0)
let orange = Color::from_hex("#FF5733")?; // RGB(255, 87, 51)

pub fn hex(hex: &str) -> Self

Creates a Color from a hex string, panicking on invalid input.

This is a convenience method for use with compile-time constants where you know the hex string is valid.

Examples

const BRAND_COLOR: Color = Color::hex("#FF5733");
const WHITE: Color = Color::hex("F");

Panics

Panics if the hex string is invalid.

pub fn rgb(r: u8, g: u8, b: u8) -> Self

Creates an RGB color from individual red, green, and blue components.

This is a convenience constructor that’s equivalent to using the Color::Rgb variant directly.

Examples

let orange = Color::rgb(255, 165, 0);

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Color

fn clone(&self) -> Color

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Color

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Color

fn eq(&self, other: &Color) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Copy for Color

impl Eq for Color

impl StructuralPartialEq for Color
