This uses Color Gradient, see next section. See also
skinparam.
You can also use color gradient in background, with the following syntax: two colors names separated either by:
depending the direction of the gradient.
See the previous section, and
Color gradient on Class diagram page. The special value
automatic can be used for font (text foreground) color. In that case, the color is either black or white, depending on the current background.

You can manipulate color with
Preprocessing, and the
Builtin functions:
| Name | Description | Example | Return |
%darken | Return a darken color of a given color with some ratio | %darken("red", 20) | #CC0000 |
%is_dark | Check if a color is a dark one | %is_dark("#000000") | true |
%is_light | Check if a color is a light one | %is_light("#000000") | false |
%lighten | Return a lighten color of a given color with some ratio | %lighten("red", 20) | #CC3333 |
%reverse_color | Reverse a color using RGB | %reverse_color("#FF7700") | #0088FF |
%reverse_hsluv_color | Reverse a color using HSLuv | %reverse_hsluv_color("#FF7700") | #602800 |
A user has recently created an image to display
all names colors used by PlantUML. (We thank him by the way!)
So a new feature has been added to print all those colors using a special diagram description:

It is also possible to print a palette of colors close to some other color (using its name or HEX value).
