HTML hex colors design

[bvssvni]

Dyon supports HTML hex colors, e.g. #aaffcc, directly in the syntax. This is converted automatically into vec4 with color components (r/255, g/255, b/255, a/255).

Without alpha:

#aaffcc // alpha is 1

With alpha:

#aaffcc00 // alpha is 0

This is designed for:

• Easier copying colors from image editors
• Recognize color settings in meta data syntax, for example a tool to tweak colors while running

Notice

The normal color space for image editors is sRGB. When doing interpolation with colors, use srgb_to_linear_color and convert back to sRGB with linear_to_srgb_color.

Example:

a := srgb_to_linear(color: #ff0000)
b := srgb_to_linear(color: #00ff00)
t := 0.5
c := linear_to_srgb(color: t * a + (1-t) * b)
