WPF Colors

The Brushes class provides 141 colors.

private void btnColor_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = Brushes.Red;
}


You can also have a wide ranging colors using the combination of Red, Green and Blue.

private void btnGreen_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(0, 255, 0));
}

In the previous I am creating Green color by assigning 255, the maximum value to Green component, ie. the second parameter


private void btnWhite_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(255, 255, 255));
}

private void btnYellow_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(255, 255, 0));
}

Grey Scale
private void btnWhite_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 255, 255));
}

private void btnBlack_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0, 0));
}

private void btnDarkGrey_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 50, 50, 50));
}

private void btnMGrey_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 150,150, 150));
}

private void slider1_ValueChanged(object sender,

RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255,

(byte)slider1.Value, (byte)slider1.Value, (byte)slider1.Value));
}


LinearGradientBrush
LinearGradientBrush displays a gradualy changing mix of two or more color schemes.
The surface where you are planning to draw the linear gradient is considered to he unit 1 wide and 1 unit high.

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
this.Background = new LinearGradientBrush(Colors.Red, Colors.Blue, new Point(0, 0), new Point(1, 1));
}

LinearGradientBrush the Coded way

using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Media;
namespace WPFBrush
{
class Class1 : Window
{
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
Application app = new Application();
app.Run(new Class1 { Title = "Shalvin - Colors" });
}
public Class1()
{
Grid LayoutRoot = new Grid();
this.Content = LayoutRoot;
LayoutRoot.Background = new LinearGradientBrush(Colors.Red, Colors.Blue, 0);
}
}
}

RadialGradientBrush

Grid LayoutRoot = new Grid();
this.Content = LayoutRoot;
LayoutRoot.Background = new RadialGradientBrush (Colors.Red, Colors.Blue);

RadialGradientBrush and GradientStops

RadialGradientBrush brush = new RadialGradientBrush();
Background = brush;
brush.GradientStops.Add(new GradientStop(Colors.Red, 0));
brush.GradientStops.Add(new GradientStop(Colors.Green, .33));
brush.GradientStops.Add(new GradientStop(Colors.Blue, .66));
