:py:mod:`~PIL.ImageColor` Module
================================
2013-10-12 09:54:24 +04:00
The :py:mod:`~PIL.ImageColor` module contains color tables and converters from
2013-10-12 09:54:24 +04:00
CSS3-style color specifiers to RGB tuples. This module is used by
2018-02-14 12:09:00 +03:00
:py:meth:`PIL.Image.new` and the :py:mod:`~PIL.ImageDraw` module, among
2013-10-12 09:54:24 +04:00
others.

Color Names
-----------
The ImageColor module supports the following string formats:
2021-01-07 16:06:18 +03:00
* Hexadecimal color specifiers, given as ``#rgb``, ``#rgba``, ``#rrggbb`` or
2021-02-09 11:47:40 +03:00
``#rrggbbaa``, where ``r`` is red, ``g`` is green, ``b`` is blue and ``a`` is
alpha (also called 'opacity'). For example, ``#ff0000`` specifies pure red,
and ``#ff0000cc`` specifies red with 80% opacity (``cc`` is 204 in decimal
form, and 204 / 255 = 0.8).
2013-10-12 09:54:24 +04:00
* RGB functions, given as ``rgb(red, green, blue)`` where the color values are
integers in the range 0 to 255. Alternatively, the color values can be given
as three percentages (0% to 100%). For example, ``rgb(255,0,0)`` and
``rgb(100%,0%,0%)`` both specify pure red.
* Hue-Saturation-Lightness (HSL) functions, given as ``hsl(hue, saturation%,
lightness%)`` where hue is the color given as an angle between 0 and 360
(red=0, green=120, blue=240), saturation is a value between 0% and 100%
(gray=0%, full color=100%), and lightness is a value between 0% and 100%
(black=0%, normal=50%, white=100%). For example, ``hsl(0,100%,50%)`` is pure
red.
2018-05-30 23:13:22 +03:00
* Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) functions, given as ``hsv(hue, saturation%,
value%)`` where hue and saturation are the same as HSL, and value is between
0% and 100% (black=0%, normal=100%). For example, ``hsv(0,100%,100%)`` is
2018-05-30 23:14:29 +03:00
pure red. This format is also known as Hue-Saturation-Brightness (HSB), and
can be given as ``hsb(hue, saturation%, brightness%)``, where each of the
values are used as they are in HSV.
2018-05-30 23:13:22 +03:00
2013-10-12 09:54:24 +04:00
* Common HTML color names. The :py:mod:`~PIL.ImageColor` module provides some
140 standard color names, based on the colors supported by the X Window
system and most web browsers. color names are case insensitive. For example,
``red`` and ``Red`` both specify pure red.
Functions
---------
2017-12-30 13:23:04 +03:00
.. py:method:: getrgb(color)
Convert a color string to an RGB tuple. If the string cannot be parsed,
this function raises a :py:exc:`ValueError` exception.
.. versionadded:: 1.1.4
.. py:method:: getcolor(color, mode)
Same as :py:func:`~PIL.ImageColor.getrgb`, but converts the RGB value to a
2023-10-19 11:12:01 +03:00
grayscale value if the mode is not color or a palette image. If the string
2017-12-30 13:23:04 +03:00
cannot be parsed, this function raises a :py:exc:`ValueError` exception.
.. versionadded:: 1.1.4
