Apply consistent theming.

Colors in Compose

Compose represents colors with the Color class. There are ready-made values like Color.Red and Color.Blue.

You pass a Color to parameters such as a Text color or a background.

Text(
    text = "Hi",
    color = Color.Blue
)

Make any color from a hex code using Color(0xFFRRGGBB). The first two digits, FF, mean fully opaque.

For example, 0xFF6200EE is a purple.

val purple = Color(0xFF6200EE)
Text("Brand", color = purple)
