| Name | blue() |

|---|---|---|---|
| Examples |  noStroke(); color c = color(0, 126, 255); fill(c); rect(15, 20, 35, 60); float value = blue(c); // Sets "value" to "255" fill(value); rect(50, 20, 35, 60); |

| Description | Extracts the blue value from a color, scaled to match current colorMode(). This value is always returned as a float so be careful not to assign it to an int value. The blue() function is easy to use and undestand, but is slower than another technique. To achieve the same results when working in colorMode(RGB, 255), but with greater speed, use a bit mask to remove the other color components. For example, the following two lines of code are equivalent: float r1 = blue(myColor); |
