Returns a mapping from CSS color names to CSS hex values and RGB triplets as a list - but only for greyscal colors.

Converts a hex color string to an RGB list.

Returns the list of color profiles built into libvips.

Guards whether a given value can be interpreted as a color value.

Reference to an ICC color profile

  • :none means no profile
  • :cmyk, :srgb and :p3 refer to the built-in color profiles
  • Path.t() means any file system path. If the path is a relative path then is will be loaded from the systems profile directory.
@type rgb_color() :: [number()] | number()

An rbg color expressed as a list of numbers.

The number of list elements and the type varies depending on the image format, colorspace and dimensions.

For a common sRGB image it will be a list of three of four images. If the fourth number is provided it will be considered as an alpha transparency band.

@type transparency() :: :none | :transparent | :opaque | non_neg_integer() | float()

A transparency value which is one of the atoms :none, :transparent or :opaque. Or an integer between 0 and 255 where 0 is transparent and 255 is opaque. Or a float in the range 0.0 to 1.0 that is converted to the range 0 to 255.
