Colors in Matlab

RGB colors

For coding purposes colors are mostly specified in RGB, which stands for Red, Blue and Green. The values range from 0 to 1. As an example: the color red is given by the triple [1,0,0]. Since it is hard to know what a certain triple (e.g. [0.5, 1, 0.5]) stands for, we have created a few functions for RGB colors by their names:

• RGBcolors for english names
• RGBkleuren for dutch names
• RGBfarben for german names

The named colors are:
