color

color : Color (read/write)

If the flasher is defined to have a list of colours which it cycles through, then setting this variable will only override the colour until it changes again - when it cycles back to that colour, it will be as specified in the flasher's plist entry. Note that when reading from plists, a desaturation effect is applied to the specified colour. This is not applied when directly setting a colour.
