Working with Colors

[pathunstrom]

Currently, we expose color APIs pretty directly as RGB tuples. It'd be nice to support multiple color notations.

Personally, I like working with HSV, and have mostly been using an external tool to find my colors and convert them to RGB.

We should do a total pass at all the places we use color and see if we can support other notations.

• RGB 0-255
• HSV (There's at least two popular notations for this. Maybe pick one?)
• Hex codes

Open to other ideas.

Would it also be possible to support RGB 0.0-1.0 tuples?

[pathunstrom]

It's not unreasonable.

I'm trying to decide if this is best as a Color interface and a bunch of concrete classes that allow the various top level implementations and output an (r, g, b) Tuple in [0, 255] for all of the low level SDL systems that need it or if it's one class that supports the various interfaces. . .

My primary concern is students: RGB appears in a lot of places, and most of those are 0-255.
