434 Visual Basic Reference RGBColor A RGB color specification, used to apply an RGB color to a layer or art item. Table 5.133 RGBColor - Properties Property R/O Value type What it is Application Blue Green Red R/O Application object The Illustrator Application object Double The blue color value as a value in the range 0.0-255.0 Double The green color value as a value in the range 0.0-255.0 Double The red color value as a value in the range 0.0-255.0 Notes If the DocumentColorSpace of a document is aiDocumentCMYKColor and you specify the color value for a PageItem in that document using RGBColor, Illustrator will translate the RGB color specification into a CMYK color specification. The same thing happens if the document's DocumentColorSpace is aiDocumentRGBColor and you specify colors using CMYKColor. Since this translation can cause information loss you should specify colors using the class that matches the document's DocumentColorSpace. Example 72.1 This script sets the default fill color of the frontmost document to yellow using an RGB object. If the color space of the frontmost document is CMYK, then Illustrator will regard the RGB fill color as a CMYK color although it is specified using RGB.
