Colors API

This “API” serves a global table that allows you to refer to colors by their name, instead of their associated ID/number. The table serves as a look-up in both directions, so for example colors.blue has the value 11, whereas colors[11] has the string value blue. These are the defined colors:

• White (white), Number: 0
• Orange (orange), Number: 1
• Magenta (magenta), Number: 2
• Light Blue (lightblue), Number: 3
• Yellow (yellow), Number: 4
• Lime (lime), Number: 5
• Pink (pink), Number: 6
• Gray (gray), Number: 7
• Silver (silver), Number: 8
• Cyan (cyan), Number: 9
• Purple (purple), Number: 10
• Blue (blue), Number: 11
• Brown (brown), Number: 12
• Green (green), Number: 13
• Red (red), Number: 14
• Black (black), Number: 15

Note that the indexing starts at zero, not one.

Useful for setting or getting bundled redstone output or input, for example:

snippet.lua

local component = require("component")
local colors = require("colors")
local rs = component.redstone
rs.setBundledOutput(sides.back, colors.green, rs.getBundledInput(sides.front, colors.blue))

would output the back signal strength to the front.
