GetColorHSV()

Summary

Returns the hue, saturation and brightness values of a color.

Syntax

hsv_array = GetColorHSV(color c)

Argument Contents
c The color whose hue, saturation and brightness values are determined

Returns

An array of three (3) elements: the hue, saturation and brightness values.

Element Type Contents
1 Real Hue in color spectrum, from 0 (red) to 359 (violet), or -1 for an achromatic color (e.g. white, gray, black).
2 Real Saturation, from 0 (unsaturated, achromatic) to 1 (maximally saturated, pure color).
3 Real Brightness value from 0 (dark) to 1 (light), with maximally bright pure red, green and blue colors having a value of 1.

Notes

  • Pure red with maximum brightness corresponds to (hue = 0, saturation = 1, value = 1). Pure green and pure blue are similar with hues of 120 and 240 respectively.

  • Pure white corresponds to (hue = -1, saturation = 0, value = 1).

  • Pure black corresponds to (hue = -1, saturation = 0, value = 0).
