color The color attribute defines the color for some part of a visual element. Its value should be in the form "#RRGGBB", where RR, GG, and BB are single-byte hexadecimal values for the red, green, and blue color channels, respectively. This is the same form used to specify colors in HTML.

Supporting Tags The color attribute is currently supported by the <lineStyle>, <pointStyle>, and <textStyle> tags. The default value of the color attribute depends upon the tag that it modifies.

Examples color="#000000" <!-- black --> color="#FFFFFF" <!-- white --> color="#FF0000" <!-- bright red --> color="#000080" <!-- medium blue --> color="#CCCCCC" <!-- light gray -->

Notes Although any 24-bit color can be specified in the color attribute, it usually a good idea to stick to the subset of "web-safe" colors that are supported across the majority of browsers and operating systems. This ensures that your colors will look right on 8-bit displays.
