SVG Color Reference

The ways colors in SVG can be expressed will be very familiar to anyone with experience with HTML and CSS colors. Colors can be written as a hex number like "#FFFFFF", a rgb pseudo-function like "rgb(255, 255, 255) or rgb(100%, 100%, 100%)" or as keyword name like "white." The pseudo-functions allow numbers outside of 0 to 255 to be entered but this has no effect as the value is clipped to the minimum and maximum of 0 and 255.

Colors in SVG cannot be expressed as "rgba(...)" as opacity is an explicit attribute in SVG unlike HTML.
