How to change text/font color in reportlab.pdfgen

Question

I want to use a different color of text in my auto-generated PDF.

According to the reportlab docs all I need to do is:

self.canvas.setFillColorRGB(255,0,         


        

Answer 1

from reportlab.lib.colors import HexColor
...

# sets fill color like orange
c.setFillColor(HexColor(0xff8100))
# or 
c.setFillColor(HexColor('#ff8100'))
