The colour of the roof of a building or building part. Mostly used for 3D mapping.
The value syntax is identical to that of colour=*. Note, however, that the interpretation of colour names differs between different 3D rendering applications. See ListOfColours for a list of predefined colors or use hexadecimal notation, e.g. #FFFFFF for white.
