<solidcolor>

The <solidcolor> SVG element lets authors define a single color for use in multiple places in an SVG document. It is also useful as away of animating a palette colors.

Note: This is an experimental technology, and not yet implemented in browsers. A workaround is to use a <linearGradient> with only one color stop. This is less elegant, and unlike <solidcolor>, cannot itself be used in the definition of gradients.

  <defs>
    <!-- solidColor is experimental. -->
    <solidcolor id="myColor" solid-color="gold" solid-opacity="0.8"/>
      
    <!-- linearGradient with a single color stop is a less elegant way to 
         achieve the same effect, but it works in current browsers. -->
    <linearGradient id="myGradient">
      <stop offset="0" stop-color="green" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>
   
  <text x="10" y="20">Circles colored with solidColor</text>
