color

Converts an object to a colour.

Syntax

If X is any object, color(X) tries to convert it to a colour.

If X is an integer, then color(X) is the colour with X as its colour code. This is a 32-bit integer of the form 16#RRGGBB.
If X is a string containing a colour name, then color(X) is the colour with this name. Only the named colours returned by NamedColors are recognised.
If X is a string containing an HTML-like hexadecimal colour code (#RRGGBB), then color(X) is the colour with this HTML-like hexadecimal code.
If X is a structure of type RGB, HSV, or HSL, then color(X) is the colour with these coordinates.
If X is a colour, then color(X) is the same colour.
