Components in React Native are [styled using JavaScript](docs/styles.html). Color properties usually match how [CSS works on the web](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value).
### Red-green-blue
React Native supports `rgb()` and `rgba()` in both hexadecimal and functional notation:
- `'#f0f'` (#rgb)
- `'#ff00ff'` (#rrggbb)
- `'rgb(255, 0, 255)'`
- `'rgba(255, 255, 255, 1.0)'`
- `'#f0ff'` (#rgba)
- `'#ff00ff00'` (#rrggbbaa)
### Hue-saturation-lightness
`hsl()` and `hsla()` is supported in functional notation:
- `'hsl(360, 100%, 100%)'`
- `'hsla(360, 100%, 100%, 1.0)'`
### `transparent`
This is a shortcut for `rgba(0,0,0,0)`:
- `'transparent'`
### Named colors
You can also use color names as values. React Native follows the [CSS3 specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#svg-color):
