# RGB color triplet (`rgbcolor`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Color written as its red, green and blue components: three integers from 0 to 255 separated by commas, either bare (220,220,220) or in the CSS functional notation rgb(220, 220, 220). Design tools, data exports and stylesheets use it; the hexadecimal form of the same color is hexcolor. The regexp does not cover percentages, an alpha channel or the space-separated syntax of CSS Color Level 4.

## Detection

Regular expression (Python `re`):

```
^(?:rgb\(\s*(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d)\s*,\s*(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d)\s*,\s*(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d)\s*\)|(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d)\s*,\s*(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d)\s*,\s*(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]?\d))$
```
