That is called eval_pigment, Sir.

Pre defined functions
eval_pigment(Pigm, Vect): This macro evaluates the color of a pigment at a
specific point. Some pigments require more information than simply a point,
slope pattern based pigments for example, and will not work with this macro.
However, most pigments will work fine.

Parameters:

Vect = The point at which to evaluate the pigment.
Pigm = The pigment to evaluate.
