color

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

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 can be used as a CSS property. See CSS color for further information.

As a presentation attribute, it can be applied to any element, but as noted above, it has no direct effect on SVG elements.
