Colour in Java... or Color in Java !

Class Color

• default sRGB color space or arbitrary color spaces identified by a ColorSpace

• implicit alpha value of 1.0 or an explicit one : Transparency
        float value in the range 0.0 - 1.0 or 0 - 255  ( 0 : Transparent)

• Some statitics field : static Color black : The color black.
  (Color.black, Color.green ...)

• Color(int r, int g, int b)

  • Creates an opaque sRGB color with the specified red, green, and blue values in the range (0 - 255).

The Color class is used encapsulate colors in the default sRGB color space or colors in arbitrary color spaces identified by a ColorSpace. Every color has an implicit alpha value of 1.0 or an explicit one provided in the constructor. The alpha value defines the transparency of a color and can be represented by a float value in the range 0.0 - 1.0 or 0 - 255. An alpha value of 1.0 or 255 means that the color is completely opaque and an alpha value of 0 or 0.0 means that the color is completely transparent. When constructing a Color with an explicit alpha or getting the color/alpha components of a Color, the color components are never premultiplied by the alpha component.
The default color space for the Java 2D(tm) API is sRGB, a proposed standard RGB color space.
