Hexadecimal colour codes?

[Niely]

Hello

I was wondering if there's a way to use hexadecimal colour codes in the sf::Color class.
E.g: #000000 = black, instead of using words or the RGB-system.

Any way to do this?

Thanks for reading,
Niely

Yes:

sf::Color black(0x00000000);

Supported since 2.3.

Thanks! Working like a charm.

But I'm just wondering, why do I need to enter 8 characters (two extra zeros) instead of 6?
It's no problem, but I'm just wondering. Does C++ just works otherwise then HTML/CSS? Or is it the platform (Windows, browsers)?

Because we use RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) for colors and HTML/CSS just uses RGB for hexadecimal values.

Okay. Good to know. Didn't knew that.

Just a minor correction...
0x00000000 would be the equivalent of sf::Color::Transparent since the alpha is zero.

Black would be:

sf::Color black(0x000000ff); // 0xRRGGBBAA
