Parameters


  v    Specifies a pointer to an array that contains red, green, blue, and
       (sometimes) alpha values.


Description

  The GL stores	both a current single-valued color index and a current four-
  valued RGBA color.  glColor sets a new four-valued RGBA color.  glColor has
  two major variants: glColor3 and glColor4.  glColor3 variants	specify	new
  red, green, and blue values explicitly, and set the current alpha value to
  1.0 implicitly.  glColor4 variants specify all four color components
  explicitly.

  glColor3b, glColor4b,	glColor3s, glColor4s, glColor3i, and glColor4i take
  three	or four	signed byte, short, or long integers as	arguments.  When v is
  appended to the name,	the color commands can take a pointer to an array of
  such values.

  Current color	values are stored in floating-point format, with unspecified
  mantissa and exponent	sizes.	Unsigned integer color components, when
  specified, are linearly mapped to floating-point values such that the
  largest representable	value maps to 1.0 (full	intensity), and	zero maps to
  0.0 (zero intensity).	 Signed	integer	color components, when specified, are
  linearly mapped to floating-point values such	that the most positive
  representable	value maps to 1.0, and the most	negative representable value
  maps to -1.0.	 Floating-point	values are mapped directly.


  Neither floating-point nor signed integer values are clamped to the range
  [0,1]	before updating	the current color.  However, color components are
  clamped to this range	before they are	interpolated or	written	into a color
  buffer.

Notes

  The current color can	be updated at any time.	 In particular,	glColor	can
  be called between a call to glBegin and the corresponding call to glEnd.

Associated Gets

  glGet	with argument GL_CURRENT_COLOR
  glGet	with argument GL_RGBA_MODE
