ColorHex

A simple C# script that allows for creating UnityEngine Color32 variables via a hex code string

Getting Started

Getting ColorHex into your Unity project is as simple as dropping the ColorHex.cs file into your Assets/Scripts project folder.

Usage

In order to have access to ColorHex in your script, make sure to include using ColorHexUtility; at the top of any script that requires it.

Instead of using Color32's constructor which requires you to pass byte values, you can now use the ColorHex constructor to pass in a hex code string. Since ColorHex is designed to be interoperable with Color32, an implementation can look like this:

public Color32 tintRed500 = new ColorHex("#F14234");

Features

• Reduces development time (and headaches) by letting you use a color code that can be copy-pasted straight from programs like Photoshop
• Works with or without a preceding '#' character
• Supports alpha values (ex. #FFFFFF00)
• Allows some text editor/IDE plugins to preview your color (ex. Color Info for Visual Studio Code
