Class Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information Syntax Dim result As Integer = RGB(red, green, blue) red (required; Integer) A number between 0 and 255, inclusive green (required; Integer) A number between 0 and 255, inclusive blue (required; Integer) A number between 0 and 255, inclusive
Description The RGB function returns a system color code, with combined red, green, and blue components, that can be assigned to object color properties. Usage at a Glance The RGB color value represents the relative intensity of the red, green, and blue components of a pixel that produces a specific color on the display. The RGB function assumes any argument greater than 255 to be 255. The following table demonstrates how the individual color values combine to create certain colors: Color | Red | Green | Blue |
|---|
Black | 0 | 0 | 0 | Blue | 0 | 0 | 255 | Green | 0 | 255 | 0 | Red | 255 | 0 | 0 | White | 255 | 255 | 255 |
The RGB value is calculated using the following formula: RGB = red + (green * 256) + (blue * 65536) Visual Basic now contains a wide range of intrinsic color constants that can be used to assign colors directly to the color properties of objects. These colors are members of the System.Drawing.Color structure.
