hsv(hueNum,satNum,brightNum)
Creates a Color-type value, using 3 number arguments for hue (hueNum), saturation (satNum), and brightness—'value'—(brightNum). Hue varies between 0 and 360. Saturation and brightness vary between 0 and 100. The value set is in hex form. For example:
$MyColor = hsv(120,100,100);sets a value of "#00ff00" or bright green
Note that Color-type attributes can use dot operators to set or read HSV arguments separately: see Color.hue(), Color.saturation(), Color.brightness().
Setting named colours
hsv() and rgb() can be used in the Colors Inspector.
