 *   - \c "gray<percent>" in the range of 0..100 generates a gray value with 0%=black and 100%=white. Also works for "blue"|"green"|"red"|...
 *   - You can use full CSS-color syntax with functions \c "rgb(R,G,B)" , \c "rgba(...)" , \c "hsl(...)" , \c "hsv(...)" , \c "gray(...)" , \c "green(...)" , \c "red(...)" , \c "blue(...)".
