Creates an RGB color specified with an HTML or CSS attribute string.
This method supports the following formats:
"0x" or "#"
and can either be 2 digits in the range 00 to 0xFF or a
single digit in the range 0 to F.
rgb(r,g,b) or rgba(r,g,b,a) format string.
Each of the r, g, or b values can be an integer
from 0 to 255 or a floating point percentage value from 0.0 to 100.0
followed by the percent ( %) character.
The alpha component, if present, is a
floating point value from 0.0 to 1.0. Spaces are allowed before or
after the numbers and between the percentage number and its percent
sign ( %).
hsl(h,s,l) or hsla(h,s,l,a) format string.
The h value is a floating point number from 0.0 to 360.0
representing the hue angle on a color wheel in degrees with
0.0 or 360.0 representing red, 120.0
representing green, and 240.0 representing blue. The
s value is the saturation of the desired color represented
as a floating point percentage from gray ( 0.0) to
the fully saturated color ( 100.0) and the l value
is the desired lightness or brightness of the desired color represented
as a floating point percentage from black ( 0.0) to the full
brightness of the color ( 100.0).
The alpha component, if present, is a floating
point value from 0.0 to 1.0. Spaces are allowed before or
after the numbers and between the percentage number and its percent
sign ( %).
