The Stroke Color box

The Stroke Color box has a pencil icon next to it, while the Fill Color box has a paint bucket icon. You can use both a stroke and a fill on a rectangle, and you can control the color of each one separately in the Property inspector. You can also modify the stroke and fill colors in the Colors area of the toolbox or in the Color Mixer panel. Use the method that's easiest for you in this and future exercises. When you click the Stroke Color box, the color pop-up contains only solid color swatches, because strokes can only be solid colors. The Fill Color box pop-up has both solid color and gradient swatches because fills can be solid colors or gradients. You can also apply a bitmap to a fill. Remember, you can set a color in the color palette by either typing the hexadecimal value in the box or by using the eyedropper to select a color.
