# `GSShape.fillColor`

*Instance Property*

The solid color used for the fill.

## Declaration

```swift
var fillColor: NSColor? { get set }
```

```objc
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSColor * fillColor;
```

```python
fillColor() -> NSColor
setFillColor_(fillColor: NSColor)
```

## Discussion

The fill gradient takes precedence when both paints are set. Set the value to `nil` to remove the solid fill paint.
