# SolidBrush.Color Property 
 
Gets/sets brush color.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Drawing.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Property Color As RgbColor
```
 
```csharp
public RgbColor Color { get; set; }
```
 
### Property Value
 [RgbColor](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_RgbColor.htm.md) instance which specifies color of the solid brush. Draw attention, you can use only RGB colors during drawing.
 
## Remarks
 Classic GDI does not handle transparency, so it makes no sense to specify alpha channel for this color. 
**Note**
For the same reason it is not recommended to draw with GDI on the images with 32-bit ARGB pixel format. It will fill alpha channel (which is treated with GDI as meaningless) with zeros. From the other hand you can use it to emulate eraser tool functionality.

Default value is black color.
