Colors used in the UI.
A value can be in one of the following format:

 * `#RGB`/`#RRGGBB`/`#RRRGGGBBB`/`#RRRRGGGGBBBB`
 * An SVG color name as specified in http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#ColorKeywords[the W3C specification].
 * transparent (no color)
 * `rgb(r, g, b)` / `rgba(r, g, b, a)` (values 0-255 or percentages)
 * `hsv(h, s, v)` / `hsva(h, s, v, a)` (values 0-255, hue 0-359)
 * A gradient as explained in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html#list-of-property-types[the Qt documentation] under ``Gradient''.

A *.system value determines the color system to use for color interpolation between similarly-named *.start and *.stop entries, regardless of how they are defined in the options. Valid values are 'rgb', 'hsv', and 'hsl'.

The `hints.*` values are a special case as they're real CSS colors, not Qt-CSS colors. There, for a gradient, you need to use `-webkit-gradient`, see https://www.webkit.org/blog/175/introducing-css-gradients/[the WebKit documentation].
