	C_Item.GetItemQualityColor		+ 10.2.6
	GetItemQualityColor		+ 1.10.0 / 1.13.2

Returns the color for an item quality.

r, g, b, hex = GetItemQualityColor(quality)

Arguments

quality

Enum.ItemQuality🔗

Returns

r

number - Red component of the color (0 to 1, inclusive).

g

number - Green component of the color (0 to 1, inclusive).

b

number - Blue component of the color (0 to 1, inclusive).

hex

string - UI escape sequence for this color, without the leading "|c".

Details

• It is recommended to use the global ITEM_QUALITY_COLORS table instead of repeatedly calling this function.

• In particular, ITEM_QUALITY_COLORS[quality].hex already includes the leading "|c" escape sequence whereas the fourth return value of this function does not.

• If an invalid quality index is specified, GetItemQualityColor() returns white (same as index 1):

r = 1

g = 1

b = 1

hex = |cffffffff

Example

for i = 0, 8 do
   local r, g, b, hex = GetItemQualityColor(i)
   print(i, '|c'..hex, _G["ITEM_QUALITY" .. i .. "_DESC"], string.sub(hex,3))
end

Result

Will print all qualities, in their individual colors.
