[$COLOR]($COLOR) is a metacommand that adds named color [CONST](CONST) in a program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Syntax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> [$COLOR]($COLOR):0
|
||
|
|
> [$COLOR]($COLOR):32
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [$COLOR]($COLOR):0 adds [CONST](CONST) for colors 0-15. The actual constant names can be found in the file **source/utilities/color0.bi**.
|
||
|
|
* [$COLOR]($COLOR):32 adds [CONST](CONST) for 32-bit colors, similar to HTML color names. The actual constant names can be found in the file **source/utilities/color32.bi**.
|
||
|
|
* [$COLOR]($COLOR) is a shorthand to manually using [$INCLUDE]($INCLUDE) pointing to the files listed above.
|
||
|
|
* *NOTE*: When using [$NOPREFIX]($NOPREFIX), the color constants change to **C_<old name>** (ex: **Blue** becomes **C_Blue**).
