pixijs-color— agent skill

Use this for color parsing, conversion, tinting, alpha, premultiply, and color math.

Fast Path

import { Color } from 'pixi.js';

const color = new Color('#3498db');
sprite.tint = color.toNumber();

Rules

• Color accepts numeric hex, CSS strings/names, RGB/HSL-like objects, arrays, and typed arrays.
• Use toNumber, toHex, toArray, toRgbArray, and toRgbaString for output format changes.
• Use Pixi color helpers when handling premultiplied alpha or GPU-facing values.
• Keep alpha handling explicit; tint and alpha are separate display-object concerns.

Common Fixes

• CSS string not accepted in a numeric-only field: convert with new Color(value).toNumber().
• Washed output: verify alpha and premultiply expectations.
• Repeated conversions in a loop: cache numeric color values.
