color data type

The color type indicates the color of an element. Color may be represented as hexadecimal RGB triples, as in HTML, or as hexadecimal ARGB tuples, with the A indicating alpha of transparency. An alpha value of 00 is totally transparent; FF is totally opaque. If RGB is used, the A value is assumed to be FF.

For instance, the RGB value "#800080" represents purple. An ARGB value of "#40800080" would be a transparent purple.

As in SVG 1.1, colors are defined in terms of the sRGB color space (IEC 61966).

Base type: token

Regex pattern: #[\dA-F]{6}([\dA-F][\dA-F])?
