colour.color.RGB_color_picker

colour.color.RGB_color_picker(obj: object) → colour.color.Color

Build a color representation from the string representation of an object.

This allows to quickly get a color from some data, with the additional benefit that the color will be the same as long as the (string representation of the) data is the same:

>>> from colour import RGB_color_picker, Color

Same inputs produce the same result:

>>> RGB_color_picker("Something") == RGB_color_picker("Something")
True

… but different inputs produce different colors:

>>> RGB_color_picker("Something") != RGB_color_picker("Something else")
True

In any case, we still get a Color object:

>>> isinstance(RGB_color_picker("Something"), Color)
True
