How to use RGB COLOR MODEL in ADOBE ANIMATE
Color models describe the colors we see and work with in digital graphics. Each color model, such as RGB, HSB, or CMYK, represents a different method for describing and classifying color. Color models use numeric values to represent the visible spectrum of color. A color space is a variant of a color model and has a specific gamut (range) of colors. For example, within the RGB color model are a number of color spaces: Adobe® RGB, sRGB, and Apple® RGB. While each of these color spaces defines color using the same three axes (R, G, and B), their gamuts are different.
When you work with the colors in a graphic, you are actually adjusting numerical values in the file. It’s easy to think of a number as a color, but these numerical values are not absolute colors in themselves—they only have a color meaning within the color space of the device that is producing the color.
The Color panel
The Color panel lets you modify the color palette of a FLA and change the color of strokes and fills, including the following:
Import, export, delete, and otherwise modify the color palette for a FLA file by using the Swatches panel.
Select colors in hexadecimal mode.
Create multicolor gradients.
Use gradients to produce a wide range of effects, such as giving an illusion of depth to a two-dimensional object.
The Color panel contains the following controls:
Stroke Color
Changes the color of the stroke, or the border, of a graphic object.
Fill Color
Changes the color of the fill. The fill is the area of color that fills up the shape.
Color Type menu
Changes the fill style:
None
Removes the fill.
Solid Color
Provides a solid, single fill color.
Linear Gradient
Produces a gradient that blends on a linear path.
Radial Gradient
Produces a gradient that blends outward in a circular path from a central focal point.
Bitmap Fill
Tiles the selected fill area with a bitmap image that you can select. When you choose Bitmap, a dialog box lets you select a bitmap image on your local computer, and add it to the library. You can apply this bitmap as a fill; the appearance is similar to a mosaic tile pattern with the image repeated within the shape.
HSB
Lets you change the Hue, Saturation, and Brightness of the colors in a fill.
RGB
Lets you change the density of the red, green, and blue (RGB) colors in a fill.
Alpha
Sets the opacity for a solid fill, or the currently selected slider for a gradient fill. An alpha value of 0% creates an invisible (or transparent) fill; an alpha value of 100% creates an opaque fill.
Current Color Swatch
Displays the currently selected color. If you select a gradient fill type (Linear or Radial) from the fill Type menu, the Current Color Swatch displays the color transitions within the gradient you create.
System Color Picker
Lets you select a color visually. Click System Color Picker and drag the cross-hair pointer until you find the color you want.
Hexadecimal value
Displays the current color’s hexadecimal value. To change the color using the hexadecimal value, type in a new value. Hexadecimal color values (also called hex values) are 6‑digit alphanumeric combinations that represent a color.
Flow
Lets you control colors applied past the limits of a linear or radial gradient.
Extend Color
(Default) Applies the colors you specify past the end of the gradient.
Reflect Color
Causes the gradient colors to fill the shape using a reflective mirroring effect. The gradients you specify are repeated in a pattern from the beginning of the gradient to the end, and then repeated in the opposite sequence from the end of the gradient to the beginning, and then back to the beginning of the gradient to the end until the selected shape is filled.
Repeat Color
Repeats the gradient from the beginning of the gradient to the end until the selected shape is filled.
