Graphics::Color::RGB (3pm)

version 0.29

    use Graphics::Color::RGB;

    my $color = Graphics::Color::RGB->new({
        red     => 1,
        blue    => .31,
        green   => .25,
    });

Graphics::Color::RGB represents a Color in the sRGB color space. Individual color channels are expressed as decimal values from 0 to 1, 0 being a lack of that color (or opaque in the case of alpha) and 1 being full color (or transparent in the case of alpha). If no options are provided then new instance of \s-1RGB\s0 are opaque white, (that is equivalent to red => 1, green => 1, blue => 1, alpha => 1).

Convenience methods are supplied to convert to various string values.
