#### 4.1.63.4 color_resources

The X11 terminal honors the following resources (shown here with their default values) or the greyscale resources. The values may be color names as listed in the X11 rgb.txt file on your system, hexadecimal RGB color specifications (see X11 documentation), or a color name followed by a comma and an ‘intensity‘ value from 0 to 1. For example, ‘blue, 0.5‘ means a half intensity blue.

     gnuplot*background:  white
     gnuplot*textColor:   black
     gnuplot*borderColor: black
     gnuplot*axisColor:   black
     gnuplot*line1Color:  red
     gnuplot*line2Color:  green
     gnuplot*line3Color:  blue
     gnuplot*line4Color:  magenta
     gnuplot*line5Color:  cyan
     gnuplot*line6Color:  sienna
     gnuplot*line7Color:  orange
     gnuplot*line8Color:  coral

The command-line syntax for these is simple only for background, which maps directly to the usual X11 toolkit option "-bg". All others can only be set on the command line by use of the generic "-xrm" resource override option

Examples:

          gnuplot -background coral

to change the background color.

          gnuplot -xrm 'gnuplot*line1Color:blue'

to override the first linetype color.
