Examples

Creating RGB color

String HTML color converter Color.create ‘#FFAA33’ As Symbol will be find in RGhost::Constants::Colors::RGB Color.create :red

As Array with 3 elements Color.create [0.5, 0.3, 0.5] Hash with 3 pair of key/value. Valids keys :red, :green and :blue Color.create :red => 0.5, :green => 0.3, :blue => 0.5 Hash with 3 pair of key/value. Valids keys :r, :g and :b Color.create :r => 0.5, :g => 0.3, :b => 0.5

Creating CMYK color

Hash with 4 pair of key/value. Valids keys :cyan, :magenta, :yellow and :black

Color.create :cyan=> 1 ,:magenta => 0.3, :yellow => 0, :black => 0

Hash with 4 pair of key/value. Valids keys :c, :m, :y and :b

Color.create :c=> 1 ,:m => 0.3, :y => 0, :b => 0

Creating CMYK Spot color

Hash with 5 pair of key/value. Valids keys :cyan, :magenta, :yellow, :black, and :name

Color.create :cyan=> 0, :magenta => 100, :yellow => 63, :black => 12, :name => 'Pantone 200 C'

Creating Gray color

A single Numeric Color.create 0.5 50 percent of black will be divided by 100.0 Color.create 50
