Red, Green, BlueRGB is a common way to specify

colorMinimum value of number is 0Maximum value of number is 255Resulting in 256 different shades

for each color0 is black, 255 is the specific

Functions that take color as parametersbackground(r,g,b);fill (r,g,b);fill(r,g,b,alpha)stroke(r,g,b);stroke(r,g,b, alpha)alpha is for opaque/transparency0 – entirely transparent255 – entirely opaque

Example1 (size 100X100)

background(129,130,87);noStroke();fill(174,221,60);rect(17,17,66,66);

Example2

background(129,130,87);noFill();strokeWeight(4);Stroke(174,221,60);rect(19,19,62,62);

Example 3: transparency

background(116,193,206);noStroke();fill(129,130,87,102); // more transparentrect(20,20,30,60);fill(129,130,87,204); // less transparentrect(50,20,30,60);

Example 4

background(0);noStroke();fill(242,204,47,160); // yellowellipse(47,36,64,64);fill(174,221,60,160); // greenellipse(90,47,64,64);fill(116,193,206,160); // blueellipse(57,79,64,64);
