The turtle.color() function sets both the pen color and the fill color to the given color. Can set them to the same value with one argument.

Syntax: turtle.color(*args)
Parameters: Can be called as color(colorstring), color((r, g, b)), or color(colorstring1, colorstring2) to set pencolor and fillcolor separately.

Let us see an example to implement the turtle.color() function in Python:

# turtle.color() function in Python
# Code by Studyopedia

import turtle

window = turtle.Screen()
t = turtle.Turtle()

t.color("red")          # Set both pen and fill color to red
t.forward(100)
t.color("blue", "green") # Set pen color to blue, fill color to green
t.forward(100)

window.exitonclick()

The following is the output:

turtle.color() function in Python

In the above code, we followed the below steps:

Import the module: import turtle loads Python’s turtle graphics library.
Create the screen: window = turtle.Screen() opens the drawing window.
Create the turtle: t = turtle.Turtle() creates the turtle (your pen).
Set both colors to red: t.color(“red”) sets both the pen (outline) color and the fill color to red.
Draw first segment: t.forward(100) draws a 100-unit red line (pen is down by default).
Set separate pen/fill colors: t.color(“blue”, “green”) sets the pen color to blue and the fill color to green.
Draw second segment: t.forward(100) draws a 100-unit blue line; the fill color is now green for any future fill operations.
Note on fill: The fill color affects shapes only when used with begin_fill() and end_fill().
Close on click: window.exitonclick() keeps the window open until you click, then closes.
