Hex Colour Numbers
The colour number is a Hexadecimal number which defines the colour of the line as a Red-Green-Blue hexadecimal number
RRGGBB where RR, GG, BB can be 00-FF
Y indicate it is a Hexadecimal value by prefixing it with a '#' character.
The number indicates the intensity of the colour, 0=no colour, FF=full colour.
Examples:
#FF0000 is a red line
#00FF00 is a green line
#0000FF is a blue line
#000077 is a dark blue line
#000000 is a black line
#FFFFFF is a white line.

Decimal Colour Numbers
If the colour number is used without the #, the number is interpreted as a decimal value.
Thus a red line is ‘16711680’ which is the decimal value of the hex number FF0000.

Examples:
colour="RED"
colour="#FF0000"
colour="16711680"

colour="BLUE"
colour="#0000ff"
colour="255"

RGB Colour Numbers
If the colour number is prefixed with 'RGB(' it is interpreted as an RGB triplet.
The format is RGB(rrr,ggg,bbb) where rrr, ggg, bbb are decimal numbers 0-255.

Examples:
RGB(255,0,0) is a red line
RGB(0,255,0) is a green line
RGB(0,0,255) is a blue line
RGB(0,0,120) is a dark blue line
RGB(0,0,0) is a black line
RGB(255,255,255) is a white line.
