Namespace: [Eto.Drawing](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/namespace/eto.drawing.md) · Assembly: [Eto](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/assembly/eto.md)

```cs
[TypeConverter(ColorConverterInternal)]
public struct Color : IEquatable<Color>, IComparable<Color>, IControlObjectSource
```

Represents a color with RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha) components

## Constructors

- [Color](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/ctor.md): (3 overloads) Initializes a new instance of the Color object as a copy of the specified `color`

## Properties

- [A](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/a.md): Gets or sets the alpha/opacity (0-1)
- [Ab](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/ab.md): Gets or sets the alpha/opacity component as a byte of a 32-bit color (0-255)
- [B](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/b.md): Gets or sets the blue (0-1)
- [Bb](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/bb.md): Gets or sets the blue component as a byte of a 32-bit color (0-255)
- [ControlObject](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/controlobject.md): Gets the native color control object.
- [G](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/g.md): Gets or sets the green (0-1)
- [Gb](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/gb.md): Gets or sets the green component as a byte of a 32-bit color (0-255)
- [R](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/r.md): Gets or sets the red component (0-1)
- [Rb](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.drawing.color/rb.md): Gets or sets the red component as a byte of a 32-bit color (0-255)

## Methods
