The CanvasRenderingContext2D.strokeStyle property of the Canvas 2D API specifies the color or style to use for the lines around shapes. The default is #000 (black).

See also the chapter Applying styles and color in the Canvas Tutorial.

Syntax

ctx.strokeStyle = color;
ctx.strokeStyle = gradient;
ctx.strokeStyle = pattern;

Options

color
A DOMString parsed as CSS <color> value.
gradient
A CanvasGradient object (a linear or radial gradient).
pattern
A CanvasPattern object (a repetitive image).

Examples

Using the strokeStyle property to set a different color

This is just a simple code snippet using the strokeStyle property to set a different color.

HTML

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>

JavaScript

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

ctx.strokeStyle = "blue";
ctx.strokeRect(10, 10, 100, 100);

Edit the code below and see your changes update live in the canvas:

A strokeStyle example

This example uses the strokeStyle property to change the colors of the shapes' outlines. We use the arc() method to draw circles instead of squares.

var ctx = document.getElementById('canvas').getContext('2d');
for (var i=0;i<6;i++){
  for (var j=0;j<6;j++){
    ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgb(0,' + Math.floor(255-42.5*i) + ',' + 
                      Math.floor(255-42.5*j) + ')';
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.arc(12.5+j*25,12.5+i*25,10,0,Math.PI*2,true);
    ctx.stroke();
  }
}

The result looks like this:
