# Colors in TypoScript GIFBUILDER {#gifbuilder-colors}

-   **GraphicColor**

    **Syntax:**

    \[colordef\] : \[modifier\]

    Where modifier can be an integer which is added or subtracted to the three
    RGB-channels or a floating point with an `*` before, which will then
    multiply the values with that factor.
    The color can be given as HTML-color or as a comma-separated list of
    RGB-values (integers). An extra parameter can be given, that will modify the
    color mathematically:

    **Examples**

    -   `red` (HTML color)
    -   `#ffeecc` (HTML color as hexadecimal notation)
    -   `255,0,255` (HTML color as decimal notation)

    *Extra:*

    -   `red : *0.8` ("red" is darkened by factor 0.8)
    -   `#ffeecc : +16` ("ffeecc" is going to #fffedc because 16 is added)
