Not exact color

Question

Hello Everyone ,

I am trying to get a color into unity but it gives me a different color.

The color needed : RGBA : (53,140,233,255) Hex : #358CE9 The color given by Unity : RGBA : (34,90,152,255) Hex : #225A98

The code I used :

 Color Blue = new Color32(53,140,233,255);
  fill.color = Blue;

Can anyone please help ? Thank you in advance.

You used Color instead of Color32. Either use the Color32 at both the places or use Color

Color = Each color component is a floating point value with a range from 0 to 1
Color32 = Each color component is a byte value with a range from 0 to 255.

Thanks for your answer , you are right about needing Color32 on both sides. However , I tried with Color32 on both sides , I still get the same results.

 Color32 Blue = new Color32(53,140,233,255);
 fill.color = Blue;

I tested it and it works perfectly for me. I believe two possible issues you might be facing.

fill.color might accept only Color and not Color32 Solution : Color32 blue = new Color32(53, 140, 233, 255); fill.color = (Color)blue;
fill.color is accessed by some other code, find all references in code and make sure nothing else modifies it.

Other solutions: 1. Try this in an empty project and see if you still face that problem. 2. If you do, send me a link to that empty project,

Thank you much for your help . I really appreciated it . I found the problem behind this issue . The color of the sprite which I was changing the color was not initially of white color it was of a greyish color . That's why changing it's color gave a different outcome.

That's irrelevant, Color and Color32 have implicit casting operators and convert automatically between each other.

 public static implicit operator Color32(Color c)
 {
     return new Color32((byte)(Mathf.Clamp01(c.r) * 255f), (byte)(Mathf.Clamp01(c.g) * 255f), (byte)(Mathf.Clamp01(c.b) * 255f), (byte)(Mathf.Clamp01(c.a) * 255f));
 }
 public static implicit operator Color(Color32 c)
 {
     return new Color((float)c.r / 255f, (float)c.g / 255f, (float)c.b / 255f, (float)c.a / 255f);
 }

So it doesn't matter which struct you use. We don't know what "fill" actually is, but most built-in components will use "Color". So when you specify the color as Color32 it always need to be converted. Though as i said that happens automatically.
