Color

To convert RGB value use the following bash code:

function rgbToColor {   
  echo $(( $(($1<<16)) + $(($2<<8)) + $(($3))  ));
}

function colorToRGB {
  echo "Red:    $(($1>>16&0xff))"
  echo "Green:  $(($1>>8&0xff))"
  echo "Blue:   $(($1&0xff))"
}

Example

RGB Value to color uint32_t

  bash$ rgbToColor 155 230 32
  10216992
  bash$

uint32_t to RGB values

  bash$ colorToRGB 10216992
  Red:    155
  Green:  230
  Blue:   32
  bash$
