## Introduction
 
Colors are defined by their red, green and blue components, simply called the
RGB components. The colors are also known by the hue, light and saturation
components also known as the HLS components. When a new color is created the
components of both color systems are computed.
 
At initialization time, a table of colors is generated. An existing color can
be retrieved by its index:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   TColor *color = gROOT->GetColor(10);
~~~
 
Then it can be manipulated. For example its RGB components can be modified:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   color->SetRGB(0.1, 0.2, 0.3);
~~~
 
A new color can be created the following way:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Int_t ci = 1756; // color index
   TColor *color = new TColor(ci, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3);
~~~
 
\since **6.07/07:**
TColor::GetFreeColorIndex() allows to make sure the new color is created with an
unused color index:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Int_t ci = TColor::GetFreeColorIndex();
   TColor *color = new TColor(ci, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3);
~~~
 
Two sets of colors are initialized;
 
  -  The basic colors: colors with index from 0 to 50.
  -  The color wheel: colors with indices from 300 to 1000.
 
\anchor C01
## Basic colors
The following image displays the 50 basic colors.
 
Begin_Macro(source)
{
   TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c","Fill Area colors",0,0,500,200);
   c->DrawColorTable();
   return c;
}
End_Macro
 
\anchor C02
## The color wheel
The wheel contains the recommended 216 colors to be used in web applications.
 
The colors in the color wheel are created by `TColor::CreateColorWheel`.
 
Using this color set for your text, background or graphics will give your
application a consistent appearance across different platforms and browsers.
 
Colors are grouped by hue, the aspect most important in human perception.
Touching color chips have the same hue, but with different brightness and
vividness.
 
Colors of slightly different hues clash. If you intend to display
colors of the same hue together, you should pick them from the same group.
 
Each color chip is identified by a mnemonic (e.g. kYellow) and a number.
The keywords, kRed, kBlue, kYellow, kPink, etc are defined in the header file
Rtypes.h that is included in all ROOT other header files. It is better
to use these keywords in user code instead of hardcoded color numbers, e.g.:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   myObject.SetFillColor(kRed);
   myObject.SetFillColor(kYellow-10);
   myLine.SetLineColor(kMagenta+2);
~~~
 
Begin_Macro(source)
{
   TColorWheel *w = new TColorWheel();
   cw = new TCanvas("cw","cw",0,0,400,400);
   w->SetCanvas(cw);
   w->Draw();
}
End_Macro
 
The complete list of predefined color names is the following:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
kWhite  = 0,   kBlack  = 1,   kGray    = 920,  kRed    = 632,  kGreen  = 416,
kBlue   = 600, kYellow = 400, kMagenta = 616,  kCyan   = 432,  kOrange = 800,
kSpring = 820, kTeal   = 840, kAzure   =  860, kViolet = 880,  kPink   = 900
~~~
 
Note the special role of color `kWhite` (color number 0). It is the default
background color also. For instance in a PDF or PS files (as paper is usually white)
it is simply not painted. To have a white color behaving like the other color the
simplest is to define an other white color not attached to the color index 0:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Int_t ci = TColor::GetFreeColorIndex();
   TColor *color = new TColor(ci, 1., 1., 1.);
~~~
 
\anchor C03
## Bright and dark colors
The dark and bright color are used to give 3-D effects when drawing various
boxes (see TWbox, TPave, TPaveText, TPaveLabel, etc).
 
  - The dark colors have an index = color_index+100
  - The bright colors have an index = color_index+150
  - Two static functions return the bright and dark color number
    corresponding to a color index. If the bright or dark color does not
    exist, they are created:
   ~~~ {.cpp}
      Int_t dark   = TColor::GetColorDark(color_index);
      Int_t bright = TColor::GetColorBright(color_index);
   ~~~
 
\anchor C04
## Grayscale view of of canvas with colors
One can toggle between a grayscale preview and the regular colored mode using
`TCanvas::SetGrayscale()`. Note that in grayscale mode, access via RGB
will return grayscale values according to ITU standards (and close to b&w
printer gray-scales), while access via HLS returns de-saturated gray-scales. The
image below shows the ROOT color wheel in grayscale mode.
 
Begin_Macro(source)
{
   TColorWheel *w = new TColorWheel();
   cw = new TCanvas("cw","cw",0,0,400,400);
   cw->GetCanvas()->SetGrayscale();
   w->SetCanvas(cw);
   w->Draw();
}
End_Macro
 
\anchor C05
## Color palettes
It is often very useful to represent a variable with a color map. The concept
of "color palette" allows to do that. One color palette is active at any time.
This "current palette" is set using:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
gStyle->SetPalette(...);
~~~
 
This function has two parameters: the number of colors in the palette and an
array of containing the indices of colors in the palette. The following small
example demonstrates how to define and use the color palette:
 
Begin_Macro(source)
{
   TCanvas *c1  = new TCanvas("c1","c1",0,0,600,400);
   TF2 *f1 = new TF2("f1","0.1+(1-(x-2)*(x-2))*(1-(y-2)*(y-2))",1,3,1,3);
   Int_t palette[5];
   palette[0] = 15;
   palette[1] = 20;
   palette[2] = 23;
   palette[3] = 30;
   palette[4] = 32;
   gStyle->SetPalette(5,palette);
   f1->Draw("colz");
   return c1;
}
End_Macro
 
To define more a complex palette with a continuous gradient of color, one
should use the static function `TColor::CreateGradientColorTable()`.
The following example demonstrates how to proceed:
 
Begin_Macro(source)
{
   TCanvas *c2  = new TCanvas("c2","c2",0,0,600,400);
   TF2 *f2 = new TF2("f2","0.1+(1-(x-2)*(x-2))*(1-(y-2)*(y-2))",1,3,1,3);
   const Int_t Number = 3;
   Double_t Red[Number]    = { 1.00, 0.00, 0.00};
   Double_t Green[Number]  = { 0.00, 1.00, 0.00};
   Double_t Blue[Number]   = { 1.00, 0.00, 1.00};
   Double_t Length[Number] = { 0.00, 0.50, 1.00 };
   Int_t nb=50;
   TColor::CreateGradientColorTable(Number,Length,Red,Green,Blue,nb);
   f2->SetContour(nb);
   f2->SetLineWidth(1);
   f2->SetLineColor(kBlack);
   f2->Draw("surf1z");
   return c2;
}
End_Macro
 
The function `TColor::CreateGradientColorTable()` automatically
calls `gStyle->SetPalette()`, so there is not need to add one.
 
After a call to `TColor::CreateGradientColorTable()` it is sometimes
useful to store the newly create palette for further use. In particular, it is
recommended to do if one wants to switch between several user define palettes.
To store a palette in an array it is enough to do:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Int_t MyPalette[100];
   Double_t Red[]    = {0., 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0};
   Double_t Green[]  = {0., 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0};
   Double_t Blue[]   = {0., 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0};
   Double_t Length[] = {0., .25, .50, .75, 1.0};
   Int_t FI = TColor::CreateGradientColorTable(5, Length, Red, Green, Blue, 100);
   for (int i=0;i<100;i++) MyPalette[i] = FI+i;
~~~
 
Later on to reuse the palette `MyPalette` it will be enough to do
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   gStyle->SetPalette(100, MyPalette);
~~~
 
As only one palette is active, one need to use `TExec` to be able to
display plots using different palettes on the same pad.
The tutorial multipalette.C illustrates this feature.

\since **6.26:**
The function `TColor::CreateColorTableFromFile("filename.txt")` allows you to create a color
palette based on an input ASCII file. In contrast to `TColor::CreateGradientColorTable()`, here
the length (spacing) is constant and can not be tuned. There is no gradient being interpolated
between adjacent colors. The palette will contain the exact colors stored in the file, that
comprises one line per color in the format "r g b" as floats.
 
\anchor C06
## High quality predefined palettes
\since **6.04:**
63 high quality palettes are predefined with 255 colors each.
 
These palettes can be accessed "by name" with `gStyle->SetPalette(num)`.
`num` can be taken within the following enum:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
kDeepSea=51,          kGreyScale=52,    kDarkBodyRadiator=53,
kBlueYellow= 54,      kRainBow=55,      kInvertedDarkBodyRadiator=56,
kBird=57,             kCubehelix=58,    kGreenRedViolet=59,
kBlueRedYellow=60,    kOcean=61,        kColorPrintableOnGrey=62,
kAlpine=63,           kAquamarine=64,   kArmy=65,
kAtlantic=66,         kAurora=67,       kAvocado=68,
kBeach=69,            kBlackBody=70,    kBlueGreenYellow=71,
kBrownCyan=72,        kCMYK=73,         kCandy=74,
kCherry=75,           kCoffee=76,       kDarkRainBow=77,
kDarkTerrain=78,      kFall=79,         kFruitPunch=80,
kFuchsia=81,          kGreyYellow=82,   kGreenBrownTerrain=83,
kGreenPink=84,        kIsland=85,       kLake=86,
kLightTemperature=87, kLightTerrain=88, kMint=89,
kNeon=90,             kPastel=91,       kPearl=92,
kPigeon=93,           kPlum=94,         kRedBlue=95,
kRose=96,             kRust=97,         kSandyTerrain=98,
kSienna=99,           kSolar=100,       kSouthWest=101,
kStarryNight=102,     kSunset=103,      kTemperatureMap=104,
kThermometer=105,     kValentine=106,   kVisibleSpectrum=107,
kWaterMelon=108,      kCool=109,        kCopper=110,

As explained in [Crameri, F., Shephard, G.E. & Heron, P.J. The misuse of colour in science communication.
Nat Commun 11, 5444 (2020)](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19160-7) some color maps
can visually distord data, specially for people with colour-vision deficiencies.
 
For instance one can immediately see the [disadvantages of the Rainbow color map](https://root.cern.ch/rainbow-color-map),
which is misleading for colour-blinded people in a 2D plot (not so much in a 3D surfaces).
 
The `kCMYK` palette, is also not great because it's dark, then lighter, then
half-dark again. Some others, like `kAquamarine`, have almost no contrast therefore it would
be almost impossible (for a color blind person) to see something with a such palette.
 
Therefore the palettes are classified in two categories: those which are Colour Vision Deficiency
friendly and those which are not.
 
An easy way to classify the palettes is to turn them into grayscale using TCanvas::SetGrayscale().
The grayscale version of a palette should be as proportional as possible, and monotonously
increasing or decreasing.
 
Unless it is symmetrical, then it is fine to have white in the
borders and black in the centre (for example an axis that goes between
-40 degrees and +40 degrees, the 0 has a meaning in the perceptualcolormap.C example).
 
A full set of colour-vision deficiency friendly and perceptually uniform colour maps can be
[downloaded](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4491293) and used with ROOT (since 6.26) via:
`gStyle->SetPalette("filename.txt")` or `TColor::CreateColorTableFromFile("filename.txt")`.
Remember to increase the number of contours for a smoother result, e.g.:
`gStyle->SetNumberContours(99)` if you are drawing with "surf1z" or `gStyle->SetNumberContours(256)`
if with "colz".

## Palette inversion
Once a palette is defined, it is possible to invert the color order thanks to the
method TColor::InvertPalette. The top of the palette becomes the bottom and vice versa.

## Color transparency
To make a graphics object transparent it is enough to set its color to a
transparent one. The color transparency is defined via its alpha component. The
alpha value varies from `0.` (fully transparent) to `1.` (fully
opaque). To set the alpha value of an existing color it is enough to do:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   TColor *col26 = gROOT->GetColor(26);
   col26->SetAlpha(0.01);
~~~
 
A new color can be created transparent the following way:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Int_t ci = 1756;
   TColor *color = new TColor(ci, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, "", 0.5); // alpha = 0.5
~~~
 
An example of transparency usage with parallel coordinates can be found
in parallelcoordtrans.C.
 
To ease the creation of a transparent color the static method
`GetColorTransparent(Int_t color, Float_t a)` is provided.
In the following example the `trans_red` color index point to
a red color 30% transparent. The alpha value of the color index
`kRed` is not modified.
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Int_t trans_red = GetColorTransparent(kRed, 0.3);
~~~
 
This function is also used in the methods
`SetFillColorAlpha()`, `SetLineColorAlpha()`,
`SetMarkerColorAlpha()` and `SetTextColorAlpha()`.
In the following example the fill color of the histogram `histo`
is set to blue with a transparency of 35%. The color `kBlue`
itself remains fully opaque.
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   histo->SetFillColorAlpha(kBlue, 0.35);
~~~
 
The transparency is available on all platforms when the flag `OpenGL.CanvasPreferGL` is set to `1`
in `$ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc`, or on Mac with the Cocoa backend. On the file output
it is visible with PDF, PNG, Gif, JPEG, SVG, TeX ... but not PostScript.
The following macro gives an example of transparency usage:
