pymel.core.general.displayColor

displayColor(*args, **kwargs)

This command changes or queries the display color for anything in the application that allows the user to set its color. The color is defined by a color index into either the dormant or active color palette. These colors are part of the UI and not part of the saved data for a model. This command is not undoable. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

	Specifies the color index applies to active color palette. name Specifies the name of color to change. index The color index for the color.
create (c)		bool
