Class header file: BWAPI/Color.h

Starcraft uses a 256 color palette to render everything, so the colors available for draw shapes using BWAPI is limited to the colors available in the Palette.

Methods:

• Color(int id) - Create a color using the specified index from the Broodwar color palette.
• Color(int red, int green, int blue) - Create a color using the color in the palette that is closest to the RGB color specified. This will check a number of colors in the pallet to see which is closest to the specified color so this function is relatively slow.
• int getID() - Return the index of the color in the color palette.
• int red() - Return the red component of the color.
• int green() - Return the green component of the color.
• int blue() - Return the blue component of the color.

Colors

While any color from the palette can be used, the following colors are available as shortcuts:

• Red
• Blue
• Teal
• Purple
• Orange
• Brown
• Yellow
• Green
• Cyan

• Black
• White
• Grey

Palette

The blue sets outlined in green are interchangable parts of the palette. They may change based on the tileset and continually change if color cycling is enabled.
