geo.geoColorgeo.geoColorObject string number

A color value. Although opacity can be specified, it is not always used. When a string is specified, any of the following forms can be used:

• CSS color name
• #rrggbb The color specified in hexadecmial with each channel on a scale between 0 and 255 (ff). Case insensitive.
• #rrggbbaa The color and opacity specified in hexadecmial with each channel on a scale between 0 and 255 (ff). Case insensitive.
• #rgb The color specified in hexadecmial with each channel on a scale between 0 and 15 (f). Case insensitive.
• #rgba The color and opacity specified in hexadecmial with each channel on a scale between 0 and 15 (f). Case insensitive.
• rgb(R, G, B), rgb(R, G, B, A), rgba(R, G, B), rgba(R, G, B, A) The color with the values of each color channel specified as numeric values between 0 and 255 or as percent (between 0 and 100) if a percent % follows the number. The alpha (opacity) channel is optional and can either be a number between 0 and 1 or a percent. White space may appear before and after numbers, and between the number and a percent symbol. Commas are not required. A slash may be used as a separator before the alpha value instead of a comma. The numbers conform to the CSS number specification, and can be signed floating-point values, possibly with exponents.
• hsl(H, S, L), hsl(H, S, L, A), hsla(H, S, L), hsla(H, S, L, A) Hue, saturation, and lightness with optional alpha (opacity). Hue is a number between 0 and 360 and is interpretted as degrees unless an angle unit is specified. CSS units of deg, grad, rad, and turn are supported. Saturation and lightness are percentages between 0 and 100 and must be followed by a percent % symbol. The alpha (opacity) channel is optional and is specified as with rgba(R, G, B, A).
• transparent Black with 0 opacity.

When a number, this is an integer of the form 0xrrggbb or its decimal equivalent. For example, 0xff0000 or 16711680 are both solid red.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value for more details on CSS color values.
