Color in LSL
Color in LSLLSL 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] |
Light colors
Unlike most other functions relating to color in LSL, lights operate in a slightly different color space and thus do not accept a regular RGB value. (Or, they will, however the displayed color will not be the expected color).
Fortunately, this is easily resolved with 2 functions:
- llsRGB2Linear - Convert regular LSL color into linear color. (for use in lights)
- llLinear2sRGB - Convert linear color to regular LSL color.

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.

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;
}
Converting RGB colours in hexadecimal to LSL colour vectors
vector hex2lsl(string hex)
{
integer i = (integer)("0x" + hex);
return <(i >> 16) & 0xFF, (i >> 8) & 0xFF, (i & 0xFF)> / 255;
}
