new Color.HSVToRGB and Color.RGBToHSV methods!

Well it looks like Unity 5.3 has (finally) added two new static methods on the Color class to convert to and from RGB and HSV. These were previously in EditorGUIUtility which is in the UnityEditor namespace, making them unusable in deployment.

This is great, especially when you need to interpolate between two colors and you want to have constant saturation and value and just change the hue.

This is the 5.2.0 docs (without these methods) http://docs.unity3d.com/520/Documentation/ScriptReference/Color.html

And this is the 5.3.0 docs (with the new methods) http://docs.unity3d.com/530/Documentation/ScriptReference/Color.html

BTW I couldn't find any mention of this in the release note. I found it by chance. So I'm just letting anybody know

Also an HSVLerp method could be useful

 

Yeah. Finally! I used the HSVToRGB method and when I provided the value of H greater than 1, the returned r,g,b was 0, 0, 0. I would generally expecting it to clamp to 1 and return the r,g,b value.
