Color in Power Apps
In powerapps, we can specify colors of the controls in many ways:
a) By using the Color
We can specify colors by using the dot notation.
Example: i) Color.Yellow
ii) Color.Orange
b) By using the ColorValue function
We can specify text strings such as color names and hex-code notation (#).
Example: i) ColorValue("AliceBlue")
ii) ColorValue("#F55467")
c) ColorFade function
The ColorFade function in Power Apps returns a brighter or darker version of a color. The amount of fade varies from -1 or -100% (which fully darkens a color to black) to 0 (which doesn't affect the color) to 1 or 100% (which fully brightens a color to white).
