#color (predefined symbol)

Type Readable Writeable Constant
color Never In the final section of coloring algorithms No

Direct coloring algorithms use this predefined symbol to return a color. This color is directly visible in the layer. To compute the color, direct coloring algorithms can use #z and #numiter just like normal coloring algorithms, and combine it with color parameters or colors from the gradient using the gradient function.

Before executing the coloring algorithm, #color is set to black, so that is the value that will be used if the coloring algorithm doesn’t change it.

Example:

  #color = rgb(0.5, 0.8, 0.3)    

Note: You cannot mix #color and #index in the same coloring algorithm.
