LightBrown

Status: Experimental

present and registered, but lightly documented and not yet covered by dedicated tests.

Description

LightBrown

The named colour RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88].

Examples (3)

Every input below was run against the current Mathilda build and its output recorded.

Applications (3)

A pale pastel -- its own constant, not a tint of Brown

In[1]:= LightBrown
Out[1]= RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88]

An OwnValue, not an inert head -- already resolved

In[2]:= FullForm[LightBrown]
Out[2]= RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88]

Usable wherever a directive is expected

In[3]:= Head[Graphics[{LightBrown, Disk[]}]]
Out[3]= Graphics

Implementation notes

Definition. LightBrown is one of Mathilda's named colour constants, bound as an OwnValue: register_color("LightBrown", rgb_color(0.94, 0.91, 0.88)) in graphics_init (src/graphics/graphics_init.c) makes the bare symbol evaluate to the literal RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88] and marks it Protected. The docstring is kept centrally in src/info.c.

Representation. LightBrown evaluates to RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88], so FullForm[LightBrown] is RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88] and Head[LightBrown] is RGBColor. Its components are machine reals (none is exactly 0 or 1). It is a separate constant from Brown, not a computed tint of it — the Light* family is its own set of pale pastel entries (LightRed, LightGreen, LightBlue, …).

Usage & limits. As a resolved colour literal it is accepted anywhere a directive is — Graphics[{LightBrown, Disk[]}], PlotStyle -> LightBrown, Directive[LightBrown, Thick] — and as a pale background-style fill. It carries no opacity; use Opacity[a] or the four-argument RGBColor for translucency.

Attributes: Protected.

Notes

LightBrown is the named colour RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88]. It is bound as a Protected OwnValue, so it resolves to a real colour literal wherever a bare argument is evaluated: FullForm[LightBrown] is RGBColor[0.94, 0.91, 0.88] and Head[LightBrown] is RGBColor.

It is a separate constant from Brown, not a computed tint — the Light* family is its own set of pale pastel entries (LightRed, LightGreen, LightBlue, …). It carries no opacity; use Opacity[a] or the four-argument RGBColor[r, g, b, a].
