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. [Rationale: An application might store the color's index in a system color palette using this means. end rationale]

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" ... >

end example]

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" ... >

end example]

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

[Example:

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

end example]

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