<a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.GlobalColor</a>
may be used whenever a
<a href="qcolor.html">QColor</a>
is expected.</p>
<p>The QColor class provides colors based on RGB, HSV or CMYK
values.</p>
<p>A color is normally specified in terms of RGB (red, green, and
blue) components, but it is also possible to specify it in terms of
HSV (hue, saturation, and value) and CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow
and black) components. In addition a color can be specified using a
color name. The color name can be any of the SVG 1.0 color
names.</p>

</tr>
</table>
<p>The QColor constructor creates the color based on RGB values. To
create a QColor based on either HSV or CMYK values, use the
<a href="qcolor.html#toHsv">toHsv</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#toCmyk">toCmyk</a>() functions respectively. These
functions return a copy of the color using the desired format. In
addition the static <a href="qcolor.html#fromRgb">fromRgb</a>(),
<a href="qcolor.html#fromHsv">fromHsv</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#fromCmyk">fromCmyk</a>() functions create colors from
the specified values. Alternatively, a color can be converted to
any of the three formats using the <a href="qcolor.html#convertTo">convertTo</a>() function (returning a copy
of the color in the desired format), or any of the <a href="qcolor.html#setRgb">setRgb</a>(), <a href="qcolor.html#setHsv">setHsv</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#setCmyk">setCmyk</a>() functions altering <i>this</i>
color's format. The <a href="qcolor.html#spec">spec</a>() function
tells how the color was specified.</p>
<p>A color can be set by passing an RGB string (such as "#112233"),
or a color name (such as "blue"), to the <a href="qcolor.html#setNamedColor">setNamedColor</a>() function. The color
names are taken from the SVG 1.0 color names. The <a href="qcolor.html#name">name</a>() function returns the name of the
color in the format "#RRGGBB". Colors can also be set using
<a href="qcolor.html#setRgb">setRgb</a>(), <a href="qcolor.html#setHsv">setHsv</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#setCmyk">setCmyk</a>(). To get a lighter or darker
color use the <a href="qcolor.html#lighter">lighter</a>() and
<a href="qcolor.html#darker">darker</a>() functions
respectively.</p>
<p>The <a href="qcolor.html#isValid">isValid</a>() function
indicates whether a QColor is legal at all. For example, a RGB
color with RGB values out of range is illegal. For performance
reasons, QColor mostly disregards illegal colors, and for that
reason, the result of using an invalid color is undefined.</p>
<p>The color components can be retrieved individually, e.g with
<a href="qcolor.html#red">red</a>(), <a href="qcolor.html#hue">hue</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#cyan">cyan</a>(). The values of the color components
can also be retrieved in one go using the <a href="qcolor.html#getRgb">getRgb</a>(), <a href="qcolor.html#getHsv">getHsv</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#getCmyk">getCmyk</a>() functions. Using the RGB color
model, the color components can in addition be accessed with
<a href="qcolor.html#rgb">rgb</a>().</p>
<p>There are several related non-members: <a href="qcolor.html#QRgb-typedef">QRgb</a> is a typdef for an unsigned int
representing the RGB value triplet (r, g, b). Note that it also can
hold a value for the alpha-channel (for more information, see the
<a href="#alpha-blended-drawing">Alpha-Blended Drawing</a>
section). The <a href="qtgui.html#qRed">qRed</a>(), <a href="qtgui.html#qBlue">qBlue</a>() and <a href="qtgui.html#qGreen">qGreen</a>() functions return the respective
component of the given <a href="qcolor.html#QRgb-typedef">QRgb</a>
value, while the <a href="qtgui.html#qRgb">qRgb</a>() and <a href="qtgui.html#qRgba">qRgba</a>() functions create and return the
<a href="qcolor.html#QRgb-typedef">QRgb</a> triplet based on the
given component values. Finally, the <a href="qtgui.html#qAlpha">qAlpha</a>() function returns the alpha
component of the provided <a href="qcolor.html#QRgb-typedef">QRgb</a>, and the <a href="qtgui.html#qGray">qGray</a>() function calculates and return a
gray value based on the given value.</p>
<p>QColor is platform and device independent. The <a href="qcolormap.html">QColormap</a> class maps the color to the
hardware.</p>
<p>For more information about painting in general, see the <a href="paintsystem.html">Paint System</a> documentation.</p>
<a id="integer-vs-floating-point-precision" name="integer-vs-floating-point-precision" />
<h3>Integer vs. Floating Point Precision</h3>
<p>QColor supports floating point precision and provides floating
point versions of all the color components functions, e.g. <a href="qcolor.html#getRgbF">getRgbF</a>(), <a href="qcolor.html#hueF">hueF</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#fromCmykF">fromCmykF</a>(). Note that since the
components are stored using 16-bit integers, there might be minor
deviations between the values set using, for example, <a href="qcolor.html#setRgbF">setRgbF</a>() and the values returned by the
<a href="qcolor.html#getRgbF">getRgbF</a>() function due to
rounding.</p>
<p>While the integer based functions take values in the range 0-255
(except <a href="qcolor.html#hue">hue</a>() which must have values
within the range 0-359), the floating point functions accept values
in the range 0.0 - 1.0.</p>
<a id="alpha-blended-drawing" name="alpha-blended-drawing" />
<h3>Alpha-Blended Drawing</h3>
<p>QColor also support alpha-blended outlining and filling. The
alpha channel of a color specifies the transparency effect, 0
represents a fully transparent color, while 255 represents a fully
opaque color. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="comment">// Specify semi-transparent red</span>
painter<span class="operator">.</span>setBrush(<span class="type">QColor</span>(<span class="number">255</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">127</span>));
painter<span class="operator">.</span>drawRect(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> width()<span class="operator">/</span><span class="number">2</span><span class="operator">,</span> height());
<span class="comment">// Specify semi-transparent blue</span>
painter<span class="operator">.</span>setBrush(<span class="type">QColor</span>(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">255</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">127</span>));
painter<span class="operator">.</span>drawRect(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> width()<span class="operator">,</span> height()<span class="operator">/</span><span class="number">2</span>);
</pre>
<p>The code above produces the following output:</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="" src="images/alphafill.png" /></p>
<p>Alpha-blended drawing is supported on Windows, Mac OS X, and on
X11 systems that have the X Render extension installed.</p>
<p>The alpha channel of a color can be retrieved and set using the
<a href="qcolor.html#alpha">alpha</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#setAlpha">setAlpha</a>() functions if its value is an
integer, and <a href="qcolor.html#alphaF">alphaF</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#setAlphaF">setAlphaF</a>() if its value is qreal
(double). By default, the alpha-channel is set to 255 (opaque). To
retrieve and set <i>all</i> the RGB color components (including the
alpha-channel) in one go, use the <a href="qcolor.html#rgba">rgba</a>() and <a href="qcolor.html#setRgba">setRgba</a>() functions.</p>
<a id="predefined-colors" name="predefined-colors" />
<h3>Predefined Colors</h3>
<p>There are 20 predefined QColors described by the <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.GlobalColor</a> enum, including
black, white, primary and secondary colors, darker versions of
these colors and three shades of gray. QColor also recognizes a
variety of color names; the static <a href="qcolor.html#colorNames">colorNames</a>() function returns a
<a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> color names that QColor
knows about.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="Qt Colors" src="images/qt-colors.png" /></p>
<p>Additionally, the <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.color0</a>, <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.color1</a> and <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.transparent</a> colors are used for
special purposes.</p>
<p><a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.color0</a> (zero pixel
value) and <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.color1</a>
(non-zero pixel value) are special colors for drawing in QBitmaps.
Painting with <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.color0</a>
sets the bitmap bits to 0 (transparent; i.e., background), and
painting with <a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.color1</a>
sets the bits to 1 (opaque; i.e., foreground).</p>
<p><a href="qt.html#GlobalColor-enum">Qt.transparent</a> is used
to indicate a transparent pixel. When painting with this value, a
pixel value will be used that is appropriate for the underlying
pixel format in use.</p>
<a id="the-hsv-color-model" name="the-hsv-color-model" />
<h3>The HSV Color Model</h3>
<p>The RGB model is hardware-oriented. Its representation is close
to what most monitors show. In contrast, HSV represents color in a
way more suited to the human perception of color. For example, the
relationships "stronger than", "darker than", and "the opposite of"
are easily expressed in HSV but are much harder to express in
RGB.</p>
<p>HSV, like RGB, has three components:</p>
<ul>
<li>H, for hue, is in the range 0 to 359 if the color is chromatic
(not gray), or meaningless if it is gray. It represents degrees on
the color wheel familiar to most people. Red is 0 (degrees), green
is 120, and blue is 240.
<p><img alt="" src="images/qcolor-hue.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>S, for saturation, is in the range 0 to 255, and the bigger it
is, the stronger the color is. Grayish colors have saturation near
0; very strong colors have saturation near 255.
<p><img alt="" src="images/qcolor-saturation.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>V, for value, is in the range 0 to 255 and represents lightness
or brightness of the color. 0 is black; 255 is as far from black as
possible.
<p><img alt="" src="images/qcolor-value.png" /></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are some examples: pure red is H=0, S=255, V=255; a dark
red, moving slightly towards the magenta, could be H=350
(equivalent to -10), S=255, V=180; a grayish light red could have H
about 0 (say 350-359 or 0-10), S about 50-100, and S=255.</p>
<p>Qt returns a hue value of -1 for achromatic colors. If you pass
a hue value that is too large, Qt forces it into range. Hue 360 or
720 is treated as 0; hue 540 is treated as 180.</p>
<p>In addition to the standard HSV model, Qt provides an
alpha-channel to feature <a href="#alpha-blended-drawing">alpha-blended drawing</a>.</p>

<h3>The HSL Color Model</h3>
<p>HSL is similar to HSV. Instead of value parameter from HSV, HSL
has the lightness parameter. The lightness parameter goes from
black to color and from color to white. If you go outside at the
night its black or dark gray. At day its colorful but if you look
in a really strong light a things they are going to white and wash
out.</p>
<a id="the-cmyk-color-model" name="the-cmyk-color-model" />
<h3>The CMYK Color Model</h3>
<p>While the RGB and HSV color models are used for display on
computer monitors, the CMYK model is used in the four-color
printing process of printing presses and some hard-copy
devices.</p>
<p>CMYK has four components, all in the range 0-255: cyan (C),
magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K). Cyan, magenta and yellow are
called subtractive colors; the CMYK color model creates color by
starting with a white surface and then subtracting color by
applying the appropriate components. While combining cyan, magenta
and yellow gives the color black, subtracting one or more will
yield any other color. When combined in various percentages, these
three colors can create the entire spectrum of colors.</p>
<p>Mixing 100 percent of cyan, magenta and yellow <i>does</i>
produce black, but the result is unsatisfactory since it wastes
ink, increases drying time, and gives a muddy colour when printing.
For that reason, black is added in professional printing to provide
a solid black tone; hence the term 'four color process'.</p>
<p>In addition to the standard CMYK model, Qt provides an
alpha-channel to feature <a href="#alpha-blended-drawing">alpha-blended drawing</a>.</p>
