Color to RGB

Color to RGB receives a color value and extracts each of its four components as separate float outputs. The decomposed channels can be independently processed, modified, and then recombined using an RGB Color node — or used as standalone float values to drive other parameters in your graph.

• Per-channel processing — Extract channels, apply Math operations (invert, scale, offset, clamp), then recombine with RGB Color for custom color adjustments.
• Channel swapping — Decompose a color, then wire Red to Blue and Blue to Red in an RGB Color node to swap channels.
• Color-driven parameters — Use the brightness of an incoming color (e.g. average of R, G, B) to control particle size, shape scale, or audio volume.
• Conditional logic — Feed individual channels into Compare nodes to trigger actions when a color reaches a certain threshold (e.g. "if Red > 0.8, enable this layer").
• Data visualization — Map sensor data to color, then decompose it to extract individual measurements back as float values.

• Pair with RGB Color for a decompose-modify-recompose workflow.
• To convert to HSL instead, use the Color to HSL node.
• The Alpha output is useful for detecting transparent regions of an image or color signal.
• If the input color comes from a generator or image, the values reflect the pixel color at the sampled point.
