Serial.print and the CRGB data type

Projects Programming
1

I can't print the value of a CRGB variable through direct access. I'm not sure why but it prints out 0.

  CRGB color[6];
  color[0] = (170, 100, 100);
  ....
  Serial.println(color[0].red);

What could cause it to not print or not get set to 170?

  CRGB color[6];
  color[0] = CRGB(170, 100, 100);
  // or
  color[0] = {170, 100, 100};
  ....
  Serial.println(color[0].red);

If you try to assign a CRGB a value with a brace-enclosed initializer list it can't determine if you mean that to be an RGB value or HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) value.
