Hi,

Is there any table in matlab that lists all possible colors?

Thanks,

Assaf

I'd think that would be a rather long list if were using 24-bit, for
example...

If you are talking about RGB or HSV colours specified by three
components, then NO -- such a table would have to have 2^24 (about 16
million) entries.

If you are talking about the colour specifications known by simple
letter or name to Matlab, then Yes:

b -- blue
c -- cyan
g -- green
k -- black (from the German Kol)
m -- magenta
o -- orange
r -- red
w -- white

and that's it. For example, Matlab does not even have a color name for
gray or pink.
