public class Color extends Object implements Paint, Serializable
TheColor
class is used to encapsulate colors in the default sRGB color space or colors in arbitrary color spaces identified by aColorSpace
. Every color has an implicit alpha value of 1.0 or an explicit one provided in the constructor. The alpha value defines the transparency of a color and can be represented by a float value in the range 0.0 - 1.0 or 0 - 255. An alpha value of 1.0 or 255 means that the color is completely opaque and an alpha value of 0 or 0.0 means that the color is completely transparent. When constructing aColor
with an explicit alpha or getting the color/alpha components of aColor
, the color components are never premultiplied by the alpha component.The default color space for the Java 2D(tm) API is sRGB, a proposed standard RGB color space. For further information on sRGB, see http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html .

. This integer can be supplied as an argument to thegetRGB
Color
constructor that takes a single integer argument.- Parameters:
