ColorHelper is a .h header file for any C or C++ project (WiiBrew or otherwise) which allows easy reference to 19 different colours in your project, by Pinecone.
How to Use
Fortunately, it couldn't be simpler:
- 1: Download color.h - 2: Put color.h in your source directory - 3: add the following line to the top of any page from which you may want to reference colours:
#import "color.h"
- 4: refer to your colour of choice using the following construction:
COLOR_<colorname>
Table of Colours
| Color Name | HEX Code | Color |
|---|---|---|
| black | #000000 | |
| white | #ffffff | |
| red | #ff0000 | |
| blue | #0000ff | |
| green | #008000 | |
| yellow | #ffff00 | |
| orange | #ffa500 | |
| violet | #ee82ee | |
| purple | #800080 | |
| pink | #ffc0cb | |
| silver | #c0c0c0 | |
| gold | #ffd700 | |
| gray | #808080 | |
| aqua | #00ffff | |
| skyblue | #87ceeb | |
| lightblue | #add8e6 | |
| fuchsia | #ff00ff | |
| khaki | #f0e68c |
Note
This was very easy to make and really anyone with half a brain could have done it. I just found it really useful in my projects to have a colour referencer handy.
Please appreciate the spelling of the word COLOR: I am English so I would rather have it spelt like this: COLOUR. For the sake of convention (and in light of the fact that there are a good deal of Americans here), all colours are spelt using the American COLOR spelling. In all non-coding contexts, however, you will notice I spell it with the English spelling Colour.
N.B: My apologies if the graphics library you are using uses colours encoded differently. I must stress that this was written for my own use, and I will not be taking suggestions or requests, for doing so is sheer laziness. If you are able to use it, you are able to change it.
