Color Class

Represents a color.

The Color class parses colors specified as CSS strings and exposes their red, green, blue, and alpha channels as read-write properties.

The Color class also provides fromHsb and fromHsl methods for creating colors using the HSB and HSL color models instead of RGB, as well as getHsb and getHsl methods for retrieving the color components using those color models.

Finally, the Color class provides an interpolate method that creates colors by interpolating between two colors using the HSL model. This method is especially useful for creating color animations with the animate method.

The example below shows how this works:
