# Graphics::Color(3pm)

Device and library agnostic color spaces.

## NAME

Graphics::Color - Device and library agnostic color spaces.

## VERSION

version 0.31

## SYNOPSIS

```
  my $color = Graphics::Color::RGB->new(
      red => .5, green => .5, blue => .5, alpha => .5
  );
  say $color->as_string;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Graphics color is a device and library agnostic system for creating and manipulating colors in various color spaces.

## DISCLAIMER

I'm not an art student or a wizard of arcane color knowledge.  I'm a normal programmer with a penchant for things graphical.  Hence this module is likely incomplete in some places.  Patches are encouraged.  I've intentions of adding more color spaces as well as conversion routines (where applicable).

## COLOR TYPES

The following color types are supported.

CMYK

HSL

HSV

RGB

YIQ

YUV

## METHODS

### derive

Clone this color but allow one of more of it's attributes to change by passing in a hashref of options:

```
  my $new = $color->derive({ attr => $newvalue });
```

The returned color will be identical to the cloned one, save the attributes specified.

### equal\_to

Compares this color to the provided one.  Returns 1 if true, else 0;

### not\_equal\_to

The opposite of equal\_to.
