颜色 |

The <color> CSS data type represents a color in the sRGB color space. A color can be described in any of the following ways:

• using a keyword
• using the RGB cubic-coordinate system (via the #-hexadecimal or the rgb() and rgba() functional notations)
• using the HSL cylindrical-coordinate system (via the hsl() and hsla() functional notations)

A color value may also include an alpha-channel transparency value, indicating how the color should composite with its background.

Although CSS color values are precisely defined, their appearance may vary (sometimes significantly) from device to device. This is because most devices are not calibrated, and some browsers do not support output devices' color profiles.

This article describes the color data type in detail. For a look at using color in HTML, see Applying color to HTML elements using CSS.

Accessibility note: Some people have difficulty distinguishing colors. The WCAG 2.0 recommendation strongly advises against using color as the only means of conveying a specific message, action, or result. (See Color and color contrast for more information.)

Interpolation

In animations or <gradient>s, color values are interpolated on each of their red, green, and blue components. Each component is handled as a real, floating-point number. Note that interpolation of colors happens in the alpha-premultiplied sRGBA color space to prevent unexpected gray colors from appearing. In animations, the interpolation's speed is determined by the timing function.

Values

There are several ways to describe a <color> value.

Color keywords

Color keywords are case-insensitive identifiers that represent a specific color, such as red, blue, brown, or lightseagreen. The name describes the color, though it is mostly artificial. The list of accepted values has varied a lot throughout the different specifications:

• CSS Level 1 only accepted 16 basic colors, called the VGA colors as they were taken from the set of displayable colors on VGA graphics cards.
• CSS Level 2 added the orange keyword.
• Although various colors not in the specification (mostly adapted from the X11 colors list) were supported by early browsers, it wasn't until SVG 1.0 and CSS Colors Level 3 that they were formally defined. They are called the extended color keywords, the X11 colors, or the SVG colors.
• CSS Colors Level 4 added the rebeccapurple keyword to honor web pioneer Eric Meyer.

There are a few caveats to consider when using keywords:

• Except for the 16 basic colors, color keywords can only be used in CSS and SVG. HTML does not recognize them and will use a specific algorithm to convert them to completely different colors.
• Unlike HTML, CSS will completely ignore unknown keywords.
• No keyword-defined colors in CSS have any transparency—they are plain, solid colors.
• Several keywords denote the same colors:
  • aqua / cyan
  • fuchsia / magenta
  • darkgray / darkgrey
  • darkslategray / darkslategrey
  • dimgray / dimgrey
  • lightgray / lightgrey
  • lightslategray / lightslategrey
  • gray / grey
  • slategray / slategrey
• Though many keywords have been adapted from X11, their RGB values may differ from the corresponding color on X11 systems since manufacturers sometimes tailor X11 colors to their specific hardware.

transparent keyword

The transparent keyword represents a fully transparent color. This makes the background completely visible. Technically, transparent is a shortcut for rgba(0,0,0,0).

Compatibility note: To prevent unexpected behavior, such as in <gradient>s, the current W3C spec states that transparent should be calculated in the alpha-premultiplied color space. However, be aware that older browsers may treat it as black with an alpha value of 0.

Historical note:transparent wasn't a true color in CSS Level 2 (Revision 1). It was a special keyword that could be used instead of a regular <color> value on two CSS properties: background and border. It was essentially added to allow developers to override an inherited solid color. With the advent of alpha channels in CSS Colors Level 3, transparent was redefined as a true color. It can now be used wherever a <color> value can be used.

currentColor keyword

The currentColor keyword represents the value of an element's color property. This lets you use the color value on properties that do not receive it by default.

CurrentColor example

<div style="color:blue; border: 1px dashed currentColor;">
  The color of this text is blue.
  <div style="background:currentColor; height:9px;"></div>
  This block is surrounded by a blue border.
</div>

rgb() and rgba()

Note: As of CSS Colors Level 4, rgba() is an alias for rgb(). In browsers that implement the Level 4 standard, they accept the same parameters and behave the same way.

Colors can be defined according to their red, green, and blue components (the RGB model) by using hexadecimal and functional notations. The optional alpha component represents transparency.

Syntax

Hexadecimal notation: #RRGGBB[AA]R (red), G (green), B (blue), and A (alpha) are hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F). A is optional. For example, #ff0000 is equivalent to #ff0000ff.Hexadecimal notation: #RGB[A]R (red), G (green), B (blue), and A (alpha) are hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F). A is optional. The three-digit notation (#RGB) is a shorter version of the six-digit form (#RRGGBB). For example, #f09 is the same color as #ff0099. Likewise, the four-digit RGB notation (#RGBA) is a shorter version of the eight-digit form (#RRGGBBAA). For example, #0f38 is the same color as #00ff3388.Functional notation: rgb(R, G, B[, A]) or rgba(R, G, B, A)R (red), G (green), and B (blue) can be either <integer>s or <percentage>s, where the number 255 corresponds to 100%. A (alpha) can be a <number> between 0 and 1, or a <percentage>, where the number 1 corresponds to 100% (full opacity).

Examples

/* These examples all specify the same color: a hot pink. */

/* Hexadecimal syntax */

rgb(255 0 153 / 100%)

RGBa example

/* Hexadecimal syntax */
#3a30                    /*   0% opaque green */ 
#3A3F                    /* full opaque green */ 
#33aa3300                /*   0% opaque green */ 
#33AA3388                /*  50% opaque green */ 

/* Functional syntax */
rgba(51, 170, 51, .1)    /*  10% opaque green */ 
rgba(51, 170, 51, .4)    /*  40% opaque green */ 
rgba(51, 170, 51, .7)    /*  70% opaque green */ 
rgba(51, 170, 51,  1)    /* full opaque green */ 

/* Whitespace syntax */
rgba(51 170 51 / 0.4)    /*  40% opaque green */ 
rgba(51 170 51 / 40%)    /*  40% opaque green */ 

hsl() and hsla()

Note: As of CSS Colors Level 4, hsla() is an alias for hsl(). In browsers that implement the Level 4 standard, they accept the same parameters and behave the same way.

Colors can be defined according to their hue, saturation, and lightness (the HSL model) via the hsl() and hsla() functional notations. One advantage of HSL over RGB is that it is more intuitive: you can guess at the color you want, and tweak it from there. It is also easier to create a set of matching colors (e.g., by keeping the hue the same, while varying the lightness/darkness and saturation).

Syntax

Functional notation: hsl(H, S, L[, A]) or hsla(H, S, L, A)H (hue)is an <angle> of the color circle given in degs, rads, grads, or turns. When written as a unitless <number>, it is interpreted as degrees. By definition, red=0deg=360deg, with the other colors spread around the circle, so green=120deg, blue=240deg, and so on. As an <angle>, it implicitly wraps around such that -120deg=240deg, 480deg=120deg, -1turn=1turn, etc.S (saturation) and L (lightness) are percentages. 100%saturation is completely saturated, while 0% is completely unsaturated (gray). 100%lightness is white, 0% lightness is black, and 50% lightness is “normal.”A (alpha) can be a <number> between 0 and 1, or a <percentage>, where the number 1 corresponds to 100% (full opacity).

Examples

HSL example

/* These examples all specify the same color: a lavender. */
hsl(270,60%,70%)
hsl(270, 60%, 70%)
hsl(270 60% 70%)
hsl(270deg, 60%, 70%)
hsl(4.71239rad, 60%, 70%)
hsl(.75turn, 60%, 70%)

/* These examples all specify the same color: a lavender that is 15% opaque. */
hsl(270, 60%, 50%, .15)
hsl(270, 60%, 50%, 15%)
hsl(270 60% 50% / .15)
hsl(270 60% 50% / 15%)

Fully saturated colors

Lighter and darker greens

Saturated and desaturated greens

HSLa example

hsla(240, 100%, 50%, .05)     /*   5% opaque blue */ 
hsla(240, 100%, 50%, .4)      /*  40% opaque blue */ 
hsla(240, 100%, 50%, .7)      /*  70% opaque blue */ 
hsla(240, 100%, 50%, 1)       /* full opaque blue */ 

/* Whitespace syntax */
hsla(240 100% 50% / .05)      /*   5% opaque blue */ 

/* Percentage value for alpha */
hsla(240 100% 50% / 5%)       /*   5% opaque blue */
