Instantiation
You can instantiate a new Color object by supplying a hexadecimal value, or a string:
<?ev
// new Color() using hexadecimal
var red = new Color('#ff0000');
// new Color() using a string
var red = new Color('red');
?>
| Construct parameters | |

If the color supplied is a valid hexadecimal value, the Color object will return the hexadecimal value. If the color supplied is not a valid hexadecimal value, but is a known color, the Color object will return
the long hexadecimal value.
If the color supplied is not a valid hexadecimal value, nor is it a known color, the Color object will generate and return a hexadecimal value. |
