In my code i usually use Math.min and Math.max. It does take more lines, but the intent is obvious and the code is readable.
You can play with OR'ing three AND'ed expressions. Each AND expression handles a specific color channel, using the shifted value as the base and shifted mask. Something like r << 16 && 255 << 16 (for red) g << 8 && 255 << 8 (for green) b && 255 (for blue) Then, the result would be 255 << 24 | (r << 16 && 255 << 16) | (g << 8 && 255 << 8) | (b && 255) It is shorter but not necessarily easier to understand without comments.
