String Color

Color and opacity (alpha) values are expressed in hexadecimal notation. The range of values for any one color is 0 to 255 (00 to ff). For alpha, 00 is fully transparent and ff is fully opaque. The order of expression is aabbggrr, where aa=alpha (00 to ff); bb=blue (00 to ff); gg=green (00 to ff); rr=red (00 to ff). For example, if you want to apply a blue color with 50 percent opacity to an overlay, you would specify the following: <color>7fff0000</color>, where alpha=0x7f, blue=0xff, green=0x00, and red=0x00.

KmlColorMode ColorMode

Values for KmlColorStyle.ColorMode are Normal (no effect) and Random. A value of Random applies a random linear scale to the base KmlColorStyle.Color as follows:

  • To achieve a truly random selection of colors, specify a base of white (ffffffff).
  • If you specify a single color component (for example, a value of ff0000ff for red), random color values for that one component (red) will be selected. In this case, the values would range from 00 (black) to ff (full red).
  • If you specify values for two or for all three color components, a random linear scale is applied to each color component, with results ranging from black to the maximum values specified for each component.
  • The opacity of a color comes from the alpha component of and is never randomized.
