# Line color change in canvas in JavaScript

Let's now learn how to change a color of the outline and fill. There are the following properties for this: the `strokeStyle` property sets the outline color, and the `fillStyle` property sets the fill color. Colors are set in the regular CSS format.

## Example

Let's draw an outline with `rect` and color it red:

`<canvas width="200" height="200" style="background: #f4f4f4;"></canvas>` `let canvas = document.querySelector('canvas'); let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.rect(50, 50, 100, 100); ctx.strokeStyle = 'red'; ctx.stroke();`

:

## Example

Let's draw a square with `rect` and color it green:

`<canvas width="200" height="200" style="background: #f4f4f4;"></canvas>` `let canvas = document.querySelector('canvas'); let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.rect(50, 50, 100, 100); ctx.fillStyle = 'green'; ctx.fill();`

## Comment

Important: when you set `strokeStyle` or `fillStyle`, the new value will be applied to all shapes drawn from that point on. For each shape that you need a different color for, you must overwrite the `fillStyle` or `strokeStyle` value.
