DAColor Class

A DAColor is an object that represents a color behavior (this is an animated color, or a color whose value can change over time). At any given time, the value of the object is a color value that represents a specific color. Each color value consists of a combination of component values that specify either red, green and blue; or hue, saturation, and lightness.

Because component values can be animated numbers (DANumber objects), the value of the DAColor object can change over time as the animated numbers change.

This class inherits from DABehavior.

For relevant functions and properties in the DAStatics class, see the following topics.
