# `GSShape.strokeColor`

*Instance Property*

The solid color used for the stroke.

## Declaration

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

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

```python
strokeColor() -> NSColor
setStrokeColor_(strokeColor: NSColor)
```

## Discussion

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