Color Formats

Intervention Image supports four ways to define colors for its methods.

Integer Format

By default the pickColor method returns the RGB value as integer. You can also pass a color in this format to all other methods.

Examples

// pick color and fill image
$color = Image::make('public/foo.jpg')->pickColor(10, 10);
$img->fill($color);
// pass colors of the GD Library
$im = imagecreatefrompng('public/foo.jpg');
$rgb = imagecolorat($im, 10, 15);
$img->fill($rgb);

Array Format

Pass the RGB integers of a color as a PHP array with or without an alpha value between 1 (opaque) and 0 (full transparency).

Examples

// color in array format
$img->fill(array(255, 0, 0));
// color in array format with alpha value
$img->fill(array(255, 255, 255, 0.5));

Hexadecimal Format

You can pass colors as a hex triplet used normally in HTML and CSS. It’s possible to use six-digit format as well as the shorthand form.

Examples

// shorthand hex color
$img->fill('#ccc');
// six-digit hex color
$img->fill('#cccccc');
// works without prefix
$img->fill('cccccc');

RGB & RGBA string format

RGB string values in functional notations are also supported. If you want to include an alpha value use the RGBA format like in the following example.

Examples

// rgb color value in integer range
$img->fill('rgb(255, 0, 0)');
// rgba color value with alpha
$img->fill('rgba(255, 0, 0, 1)');
// rgba color value with transparent alpha
$img->fill('rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)');
