LESS - Color Blending Screen Function
Description
The screen function takes two colors as parameter and generates a brighter color as output.
Parameters
color1 − A color object.
color2 − A color object.
Returns
color
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of screen function in the LESS file −
<html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" href = "style.css" type = "text/css" /> </head> <body> <h2>Screen Function</h2> <div class = "color1"> <p>(color1) <br> #ff6600</p> </div><br> <div class = "color2"> <p>(color2) <br> #0000ff</p> </div><br> <div class = "res"> <p>(result) <br> #ff66ff</p> </div> </body> </html>
Next, create the style.less file.
style.less
.color1 { width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: #ff6600; } .color2 { width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: #0000ff; } .res { width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: screen(#ff6600, #0000ff); } p { padding: 30px 0px 0px 25px; }
You can compile the style.less to style.css by using the following command −
lessc style.less style.css
Execute the above command; it will create the style.css file automatically with the following code −
style.css
.color1 { width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: #ff6600; } .color2 { width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: #0000ff; } .result { width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: #ff66ff; } p { padding: 30px 0px 0px 25px; }
Output
Follow these steps to see how the above code works −
Save above code in color_blending_screen.html file.
Open this HTML file in a browser, the following output will get displayed.
