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

Unity Color	`new Color(0.925f, 0.282f, 0.6f, 1.0f)`Color for everyday scripting (0–1). Color32 when you need whole numbers from 0 to 255.
Unity Color32	`new Color32(236, 72, 153, 255)`
Unreal FLinearColor	`FLinearColor(0.8388f, 0.0648f, 0.3185f, 1.0f)`FLinearColor for materials and lighting. FColor when you need whole numbers from 0 to 255.
Unreal FColor	`FColor(236, 72, 153, 255)`Whole numbers from 0 to 255 — use when an API asks for FColor, not FLinearColor.
Godot Color	`Color(0.925, 0.282, 0.6, 1)`
Flutter Color	`Color(0xFFEC4899)`Packed ARGB, so alpha comes first.
