Python PIL | ImageColor.getcolor() Method

Last Updated : 12 Dec, 2021

PIL is the Python Imaging Library which provides the python interpreter with image editing capabilities. The ImageColor module contains color tables and converters from CSS3-style color specifiers to RGB tuples. This module is used by PIL.Image.Image.new() and the ImageDraw module, among others.
ImageColor.getcolor() Same as getrgb(), but converts the RGB value to a grayscale value if the mode is not color or a palette image. If the string cannot be parsed, this function raises a ValueError exception.

Syntax: PIL.ImageColor.getcolor(color, mode)
Parameters:
color - A color string
Returns: (graylevel [, alpha]) or (red, green, blue[, alpha])

Python3

 

# importing Image module from PIL package 
from PIL import Image, ImageColor

# using getcolor
im = ImageColor.getcolor("orange", "L")
print(im)

im1 = ImageColor.getcolor("red", "L")
print(im1)

Output:

173
76

Another Example:- Here used different colors.

Python3

 

# importing Image module from PIL package 
from PIL import Image, ImageColor

# using getcolor
im = ImageColor.getcolor("pink", "L")
print(im)

im1 = ImageColor.getcolor("violet", "L")
print(im1)

Output:

212
174
