# Color Attribute

**Color Attributes** are used to set the color and opacity of several **Objects** in **Incari**. They can be set in a variety of ways:

* Using the *saturation*/*brightness* picker.
* Using the *hue* and *alpha* sliders.
* Setting a 8-digit **ARGB** *hex code*.
* Manually setting *hue*, *saturation brightness* (**HSB**) levels.
* Manually setting *red*, *green*, *blue* and *alpha* (**RGBA**)

  levels.

## Hex Codes

Currently the *hex code* **Field** of the **Color Attribute** only accepts *full* 8-digit *hex codes*. It does *not* support shorthand *hex codes* (e.g. #FFF), and does not automatically interpret 6-digit *hex codes* as 8-digit *hex codes*.

Additionally, the first two digits of the code represent the *alpha* value, not the *red* value, therefore 6-digit *hex codes* must have an *alpha value* added to *the front* of the code (e.g. #FF0000 would become #FFFF0000).

## Hue, Saturation and Brightness

**HSB** values in **Incari** are within the range 0 - 1, which may differ from other software. *Hue* properties, for example, are often given in degrees (0° - 360°), while saturation and brightness are often represented as a percentage (0% - 100%). To translate values from another application to **Incari**, you may need to convert the values first.

## Red, Green, Blue and Alpha

**RGBA** are all within the range of 0 - 255. This is a fairly common convention, however there are some cases where alpha values are given as a percentage, or within the range 0 - 1. As with **HSB**, values may need to be converted beforehand.
