〈color〉 = currentColor | transparent | 〈color name〉 | 〈rgb color〉 | 〈rgba color〉 | 〈hex color〉 | 〈gtk color〉
〈rgb color〉 = rgb( 〈number〉, 〈number〉, 〈number〉 ) | rgb( 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉 )
〈rgba color〉 = rgba( 〈number〉, 〈number〉, 〈number〉, 〈alpha value〉 ) | rgba( 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉, 〈percentage〉, 〈alpha value〉 )
〈hex color〉 = #〈hex digits〉
〈alpha value〉 = 〈number〉, clamped to values between 0 and 1
