ColorType (Java SE 11 & JDK 11 )

java.lang.Object
- javax.swing.plaf.synth.ColorType

```
public class ColorType
extends Object
```
A typesafe enumeration of colors that can be fetched from a style.
Each SynthStyle has a set of ColorTypes that are accessed by way of the SynthStyle.getColor(SynthContext, ColorType) method. SynthStyle's installDefaults will install the FOREGROUND color as the foreground of the Component, and the BACKGROUND color to the background of the component (assuming that you have not explicitly specified a foreground and background color). Some components support more color based properties, for example JList has the property selectionForeground which will be mapped to FOREGROUND with a component state of SynthConstants.SELECTED.
The following example shows a custom SynthStyle that returns a red Color for the DISABLED state, otherwise a black color.
```
 class MyStyle extends SynthStyle {
     private Color disabledColor = new ColorUIResource(Color.RED);
     private Color color = new ColorUIResource(Color.BLACK);
     protected Color getColorForState(SynthContext context, ColorType type){
         if (context.getComponentState() == SynthConstants.DISABLED) {
             return disabledColor;
         }
         return color;
     }
 }
 
```
