svg attribute

stop-color

View on MDN ↗

The stop-color attribute indicates what color to use at a gradient stop.

[!NOTE] With respect to gradients, SVG treats the transparent keyword differently than CSS. SVG does not calculate gradients in pre-multiplied space, so transparent really means transparent black. So, specifying a stop-color with the value transparent is equivalent to specifying a stop-color with the value black and a stop-opacity with the value 0.

[!NOTE] As a presentation attribute, stop-color also has a CSS property counterpart: stop-color. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
