TextColor

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

TextColor.ANSI, TextColor.Indexed, TextColor.RGB
```
public interface TextColor
extends java.io.Serializable
```
This is an abstract base class for terminal color definitions. Since there are different ways of specifying terminal colors, all with a different range of adoptions, this makes it possible to program an API against an implementation- agnostic color definition. Please remember when using colors that not all terminals and terminal emulators supports them. The 24-bit color mode is very unsupported, for example, and even the default Linux terminal doesn't support the 256-color indexed mode.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
`static class`	`TextColor.ANSI`	This class represent classic ANSI colors that are likely to be very compatible with most terminal implementations.
`static class`	`TextColor.Factory`	Utility class to instantiate colors from other types and definitions
`static class`	`TextColor.Indexed`	This class represents a color expressed in the indexed XTerm 256 color extension, where each color is defined in a lookup-table.
`static class`	`TextColor.RGB`	This class can be used to specify a color in 24-bit color space (RGB with 8-bit resolution per color).

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`byte[]`	`getBackgroundSGRSequence()`	Returns the byte sequence in between CSI and character 'm' that is used to enable this color as the background color on an ANSI-compatible terminal.
`int`	`getBlue()`
`byte[]`	`getForegroundSGRSequence()`	Returns the byte sequence in between CSI and character 'm' that is used to enable this color as the foreground color on an ANSI-compatible terminal.
`int`	`getGreen()`
`int`	`getRed()`
`java.awt.Color`	`toColor()`	Deprecated. This adds a runtime dependency to the java.desktop module which isn't declared in the module descriptor of lanterna.

- Method Detail
  - getForegroundSGRSequence
```
byte[] getForegroundSGRSequence()
```
    Returns the byte sequence in between CSI and character 'm' that is used to enable this color as the foreground color on an ANSI-compatible terminal.
    
    Returns:
    
    Byte array out data to output in between of CSI and 'm'
  - getBackgroundSGRSequence
```
byte[] getBackgroundSGRSequence()
```
    Returns the byte sequence in between CSI and character 'm' that is used to enable this color as the background color on an ANSI-compatible terminal.
    
    Returns:
    
    Byte array out data to output in between of CSI and 'm'
  - getRed
```
int getRed()
```
    Returns:
    
    Red intensity of this color, from 0 to 255
  - getGreen
```
int getGreen()
```
    Returns:
    
    Green intensity of this color, from 0 to 255
  - getBlue
```
int getBlue()
```
    Returns:
    
    Blue intensity of this color, from 0 to 255
  - toColor
```
@Deprecated
java.awt.Color toColor()
```
    Deprecated.
    This adds a runtime dependency to the java.desktop module which isn't declared in the module descriptor of lanterna. If you want to call this method, make sure to add it to your module.
    
    Converts this color to an AWT color object, assuming a standard VGA palette.
    
    Returns:
    
    TextColor as an AWT Color
