Table of red, green, blue, and alpha (opacity) float values between 0 and 1. Alternatively, values can be from 0-255, they are interpreted as such if at least one value is > 1. Color allows the short-hand notation of passing an array of exactly 3 or 4 numbers.
When color is permitted nil, the default is {1, 1, 1, 1}, opaque white, or, as a tint, original color brightness and original opacity. When there is a table, all values are optional. The default optional value for colors is 0, for alpha, 1 (fully opaque). The game usually expects colors to be in pre-multiplied form (color channels are pre-multiplied by alpha). See Types/BlendMode.

Examples
color = {r=1, g=0, b=0, a=0.5} -- red color = {r=1, a=0.5} -- the same red, omitting 0 colors color = {1, 0, 0, 0.5} -- also the same red color = {0, 0, 1} -- blue color = {} -- black
