It allows basic arithmetic operations to create new colors, supports conversions to other color spaces such as <tt>HSV</tt> or <tt>HSL</tt> and lets you adjust single color channels. Alpha defaults to 255 when not given. </p> <p>'rgbvalue' can be either a color name, an <tt>HTML</tt> color format string, a hex number string, or an integer pixel value. The <tt>HTML</tt> format is '#rrggbbaa', where rr, gg, bb, and aa are 2 digit hex numbers. The alpha aa is optional. <tt>A</tt> hex number string has the form '0xrrggbbaa', where aa is optional. </p> <p>Color objects support equality comparison with other color objects and 3 or 4 element tuples of integers (New in <tt>1.9.0)</tt>. There was a bug in pygame <tt>1.8.1</tt> where the default alpha was 0, not 255 like previously. </p> <p>New implementation of Color was done in pygame <tt>1.8.1</tt>. </p> <!--COMMENTS:pygame.Color--> <br> <a name="Color.r"> <big><b>Color.r</big></b><br><ul> <i>Gets or sets the red value of the Color.</i><br> <tt>Color.r: Return int</tt><br> <p>The red value of the Color. </p> <!--COMMENTS:Color.r--> <br> <br></ul> <a name="Color.g"> <big><b>Color.g</big></b><br><ul> <i>Gets or sets the green value of the Color.</i><br> <tt>Color.g: Return int</tt><br> <p>The green value of the Color. </p> <!--COMMENTS:Color.g--> <br> <br></ul> <a name="Color.b"> <big><b>Color.b</big></b><br><ul> <i>Gets or sets the blue value of the Color.</i><br> <tt>Color.b: Return int</tt><br> <p>The blue value of the Color. </p> <!--COMMENTS:Color.b--> <br> <br></ul> <a name="Color.a"> <big><b>Color.a</big></b><br><ul> <i>Gets or sets the alpha value of the Color.</i><br> <tt>Color.a: Return int</tt><br> <p>The alpha value of the Color. </p> <!--COMMENTS:Color.a--> <br> <br></ul> <a name="Color.cmy"> <big><b>Color.cmy</big></b><br><ul> <i>Gets or sets the CMY representation of the Color.</i><br> <tt>Color.cmy: Return tuple</tt><br> <p>The <tt>CMY</tt> representation of the Color.
