Getting Hex Colors for nuke

• These are just some python notes I have taken doing visual effect as a compositor and decided put it up here

• This is useful if you want to make a node a certain color

Example:

b = nuke.createNode('Blur')
b['tile_color'].setValue(0x253d23ff)

Option 1:

Simple way to do this is by:

1. Create a node
2. use the tile knob to change the color of the node to something you like
3. Copy node into a text editor
4. In the text editor it will display the color.

Option 2:

In the script editor simply write:

col = nuke.getColor()
print col

1. Once you have written and run the code - A color wheel will appear
2. Select your favourite color and press "ok"
3. Once you price "ok" the Script editor will print the hex color Value.

There is a Tool made by  Lundy Hu that makes all this super easy. I recommend checking it out.
