Gtk.SymbolicColor

GtkSymbolicColor is a boxed type that represents a symbolic color. It is the result of parsing a <link linkend="gtkcssprovider-symbolic-colors">color expression</link>. To obtain the color represented by a GtkSymbolicColor, it has to be resolved with Gtk.resolve, which replaces all symbolic color references by the colors they refer to (in a given context) and evaluates mix, shade and other expressions, resulting in a Gdk.RGBA value.

It is not normally necessary to deal directly with #GtkSymbolicColors, since they are mostly used behind the scenes by Gtk.StyleContext and Gtk.CssProvider.

Gtk.SymbolicColor is deprecated. Symbolic colors are considered an implementation detail of GTK+.
