Engines & appsConstructors for Unity, Unreal, Godot, Flutter, SwiftUI and Android.

Unity Color	`new Color(0.867f, 0.631f, 0.369f, 1.0f)`Color for everyday scripting (0–1). Color32 when you need whole numbers from 0 to 255.
Unity Color32	`new Color32(221, 161, 94, 255)`
Unreal FLinearColor	`FLinearColor(0.7231f, 0.3564f, 0.1119f, 1.0f)`FLinearColor for materials and lighting. FColor when you need whole numbers from 0 to 255.
Unreal FColor	`FColor(221, 161, 94, 255)`Whole numbers from 0 to 255 — use when an API asks for FColor, not FLinearColor.
Godot Color	`Color(0.867, 0.631, 0.369, 1)`
Flutter Color	`Color(0xFFDDA15E)`Packed ARGB, so alpha comes first.
Android Color	`Color.rgb(221, 161, 94)`
SwiftUI Color	`Color(red: 0.867, green: 0.631, blue: 0.369)`
UIKit UIColor	`UIColor(red: 0.867, green: 0.631, blue: 0.369, alpha: 1)`

Contrast and accessibility

WCAG 2 ratios are what audits and legislation reference. APCA is shown alongside because WCAG 2 is known to misjudge mid-tone backgrounds, and it is the basis of the WCAG 3 draft.

Pairing	WCAG 2 ratio	Level	APCA	Suitable for
Earth Yellow on white	2.25:1	Fail	Lc 44	Non-text elements only
