Color in LSL

Color in LSL

LSL has its own special format for color. LSL uses a vector to store color. Unlike traditional RGB where each channel is 0 -> 255, LSL's color channels are 0 -> 1.

Format: <R, G, B>

• float x Red value [0, 1]
• float y Green value [0, 1]
• float z Blue value [0, 1]

Examples

color picker

Equivalent color vectors to the default color picker palette. These are defined in the viewer program directory's skins/default/colors.xml while custom user-saved palette entries will be in user_settings/colors.xml.

// Floating point conversions, ambient inworld light and color profile variances
// can show up as small differences in stored settings and externally picked samples

Useful Snippets

Useful functions for storing/retrieving color and alpha values to/from integers

integer ColorAlphatoRGBA(vector color, float alpha) {
    return (((integer)(alpha   * 255.0) & 0xFF) << 24) |
           (((integer)(color.x * 255.0) & 0xFF) << 16) |
           (((integer)(color.y * 255.0) & 0xFF) << 8) |
            ((integer)(color.z * 255.0) & 0xFF);
}

vector RGBAtoColor(integer rgba) {
    return < (rgba >> 16) & 0xFF, (rgba >> 8) & 0xFF, (rgba & 0xFF) > / 255.0;
}

float RGBAtoAlpha(integer rgba) {
    return ((rgba >> 24) & 0xFF) / 255.0;
}
