color

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2015⁩.

The color attribute is used to provide a potential indirect value, currentColor, for the fill, stroke, stop-color, flood-color, and lighting-color attributes.

Note: As a presentation attribute, color also has a CSS property counterpart: color. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.

Technically, color can be applied to any element, but it has no direct effect on SVG elements.

Usage notes

Value	`<color>` \| `inherit`
Default value	Depends on user agent
