Solid Color

Represents a color, and allows for mapping into all available Photoshop color models. Import SolidColor from the Photoshop's app object:

const SolidColor = require("photoshop").app.SolidColor;

When a property is accessed (either via read or write), the current color model of the SolidColor objects gets set to the space of the accessor. Photoshop internally converts the color across these color spaces using the Color Settings set by the user.

For example, to set the foreground color to red:

const SolidColor = require("photoshop").app.SolidColor;
const red = new SolidColor();
red.rgb.red = 255;
red.rgb.green = 0;
red.rgb.blue = 0;

app.foregroundColor = red;

To understand how color models change as you interact with a SolidColor object, please see example below:

const SolidColor = require("photoshop").app.SolidColor;
const c = new SolidColor();
console.log(c.base.typename); // By default, this will be "RGBColor"

c.cmyk.cyan = 50; // Photoshop will convert the color to CMYK using Edit > Color Settings data
console.log(c.base.typename); // Now, the typename will be "CMYKColor"

c.rgb.green = 128; // Typename will change back to "RGBColor"

Fixes in Photoshop 24.2:

• Adds range validation for all color modes and its components so it should not be possible to enter invalid value.

<br/> boolean

True if the SolidColor object is visually equivalent to the specified color.

Both colors are converted to Lab colorspace, and the sum of their normalized squared Euclidian distance in each space is averaged across the three then compared to a small constant (3.5e-6).

Due to differences in coverage by various color spaces and clamping, a color that is converted from RGB to CMYK and back may not be visually equal.
