The _SATURATION32 function returns the saturation value (HSB colorspace) of a given 32-bit ARGB color.


Syntax

saturation# = _SATURATION32(argbColor~&)


Parameters

  • argbColor~& is the 32-bit ARGB color value to retrieve the saturation value from.


Description

  • The value returned is of type DOUBLE in the range 0 to 100 percent, use CINT to work with integers only.
    • 100% is the richest color possible, as closer the value comes to 0% as more faded is the color, ending at dull gray.
    • The intensity of the gray (i.e. black >> darkgray >> midgray >> lightgray >> white) depends on the brightness value.
Naming differences
  • The HSB (B=Brightness) colorspace is also known as HSV (V=Value) and sometimes even called HSI (I=Intensity), but that's all just different names for the same thing.
  • However, this function is not suitable for the HSL (L=Lightness) colorspace, which is widely used in the Web/CSS.
Precision drawbacks
  • When converting between colorspaces, rounding errors can occur.
  • While the HSB colorspace has virtually infinite precision using floating point values, RGB is limited to 8-bit integers (0-255) only, which can lead to quantization errors.
  • In fact, not all colors in HSB can be accurately represented in RGB, but the opposite is possible.
  • It can be guaranteed, that the _HUE32, _SATURATION32 and _BRIGHTNESS32 values retrieved from any arbitrary RGB color will reproduce the exact same RGB color when passed back through _HSB32.
