Hex.Saturation

Extracts the saturation component from a hex color

EvaluationContext.Colour.Hex.Saturation( hexColor )
Parameter Type Required Description
hexColor STRING The hex color to evaluate (e.g., "■ #01B8AA")

DOUBLE Saturation value (0-1)

EvaluationContext.Colour.Hex.Saturation("#5E81AC") // Returns 0.32
