# palette QML Basic Type

a palette of colors. The `palette` type refers to a palette of colors for various roles.

Available properties:

Property | Description
--- | ---
palette.alternateBase : color | Used as the alternate background color in item views with alternating row colors.
palette.base : color | Used mostly as the background color for text editor controls and items views. It is usually white or another light color.
palette.brightText : color | A text color that is very different from `palette.windowText`, and contrasts well with e.g. `palette.dark`. Typically used for text that needs to be drawn where `palette.text`, `palette.windowText` or `palette.buttonText` would give poor contrast, such as on highlighted buttons.
palette.button : color | The general button background color. This background can be different from `palette.window` as some styles require a different background color for buttons.
palette.buttonText : color | A foreground color used with the `palette.button` color.
palette.dark : color | Darker than `palette.button`.
palette.highlight : color | A color to indicate a selected item or the current item.
palette.highlightedText : color | A text color that contrasts with `palette.highlight`.
palette.light : color | Lighter than `palette.button`.
palette.link : color | A text color used for hyperlinks.
palette.linkVisited : color | A text color used for already visited hyperlinks.
palette.mid : color | Between `palette.button` and `palette.dark`.
palette.midlight : color | Between `palette.button` and `palette.light`.
palette.shadow : color | A very dark color.
palette.text : color | The foreground color used with `palette.base`. This is usually the same as the `palette.windowText`, in which case it must provide good contrast with `palette.window` and `palette.base`.
palette.toolTipBase : color | Used as the background color for tooltips.
palette.toolTipText : color | Used as the foreground color for tooltips.
palette.window : color | A general background color.
palette.windowText : color | A general foreground color.
