Question Why is the button blinking in white

I am trying to get a button to blink in red and green (background color) but it blinks in red and white? The button image color is set to white in editor. I have changed colors in the editor but I do not get the blinking in the colors I need.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class BlinkLock : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     private Button btn_Lock;
9.     private Color green = new Color(3, 65, 2, 255);
10.  
11.     void Start()
12.     {
13.         btn_Lock = gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<Button>();
14.  
15.         StartCoroutine(BlinkButton());
16.     }
17.  
18.     public IEnumerator BlinkButton()
19.     {
20.         while (true)
21.         {
22.             btn_Lock.image.color = Color.red;
23.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(.5f);
24.  
25.             btn_Lock.image.color = green;
26.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(.5f);
27.         }
28.     }
29. }
30.  

 

Color uses RGBA values in the range of 0 - 1, so

new Color(3, 65, 2, 255);

is being clamped to (1,1,1,1) which is white.

 

Hi,

Change it to:

Code (CSharp):

1. private Color green = new Color(0.3f, 0.65f, 0.2f, 1);

J

 

ahhh off course I knew that, I am an idiot, tx

 

If you want to use your byte values instead of floats, using Color32 is an option.

Code (CSharp):

1. private Color green = new Color32(3, 65, 2, 255);
