Flutter: Color () with Hexadecimal

Oflutter: Flutter Color Hex

While styling the flutter application, you may be used to Color .fromRGBO(), however, the commonly used approach in higher-level development is hexadecimal since most of the design’s colors are made with it, and it’s easier right away to use Color with hexadecimal in a flutter. In this article, we will learn how to use hexadecimal with the Color class

Hexadecimal Color ()

Color() class constructs a color from the lower 32 bits of an int.

The bits are interpreted as follows:

  • Bits 24-31 are the alpha value.
  • Bits 16-23 are the red value.
  • Bits 8-15 are the green value.
  • Bits 0-7 are the blue value.

(Check the official flutter API article)

Usually, when you start creating a Color you start with Color(0xFF….) where 0xFF – means 100% opacity and follow with hexadecimal.

For example, assuming that we have a blue hex color on the design #3399ff In order to convert it to flutter Color, we simply write: Color(0xFF3399FF)

When we develop themes for our app, and we create a separate class for that, we usually write with const value so that we could not modify it later and compile reason.

As an example:

static const Color blueColor = const Color(0xFF3399FF);

Now, what if we want to add some opacity? At the end of the Color if we type . we could see the ability to add .withOpacity(); The problem with that is that we are going to get an error

static const Color blueColor = const Color(0xFF3399FF).withOpacity();

Const variables must be initialized with a constant value.

To fix this problem, instead of .withOpacity() we will be using hex.

Color Hex Opacity

An example of 68% opacity will be AD. In flutter, we would use Color(0xAD…);

Here is the list of Hex opacity:

  • 100% — Color(0xFF…)
  • 99% — Color(0xFC…)
  • 98% — Color(0xFA…)
