<ST_ColorType> (Color Type)

This simple type specifies a color. Colors are specified in one of three ways - named color, hexadecimal RGB or color palette entry. An optional index may be stored in square brackets following the color and a space. [ An application might store the color's index in a system color palette using this means. ]

A named color is specified using the name of the color. The following named colors are supported:

  • Black (#000000)

  • Silver (#C0C0C0)

  • Gray (#808080)

  • White (#FFFFFF)

  • Maroon (#800000)

  • Red (#FF0000)

  • Purple (#800080)

  • Fuchsia (#FF00FF)

  • Green (#008000)

  • Lime (#00FF00)

  • Olive (#808000)

  • Yellow (#FFFF00)

  • Navy (#000080)

  • Blue (#0000FF)

  • Teal (#008080)

  • Aqua (#00FFFF)

example: 
<... color="red" ... >

Hexadecimal RGB is specified using a hash symbol (#) followed by six hexadecimal characters, where each pair represents the red, green and blue component of the color.

example: 
< ... color="#5f2726" ... >

A color palette entry is specified using the name of the color in the palette.

example: 
<... color="buttonFace [67]" ... >

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema string datatype.
