public final class Color
extends java.lang.Object
```
The Color class is just an utility class used to do operations in a color, which is actually represented by an int in the format 0x00RRGGBB.
A color is defined as a mixture of red, green and blue color values. Each value is in the range of 0 to 255 where 0 is darkest and 255 is brightest. For example, Color(255, 0, 0) is the color red.
Here are some more examples:
- Color(0, 0, 0) is black
- Color(255, 255, 255) is white
- Color(255, 0, 0 ) is red
- Color(0, 255, 0) is green
- Color(0, 0, 255) is blue
