<colorTable>

The <colorTable> tag specifies a custom color table for a <gradient>, <kavouras>, or <nids> product. The content within the <colorTable> consists of a list of RGB colors to apply to the product.

Attributes

None.

Children

None.

Contents

A list of colors 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.

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.
