# ColorValue

This concept describes the requirements for the type used for color values, as in for coloring a graph during a breath-first search to mark which vertices have been visited.

### Refinement of

EqualityComparable and DefaultConstructible

### Notation

`T` | A type that is a model of ColorValue.
`cv` | An object of type `T`.

### Valid Expressions

Name | Expression | Return Type | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
Get Color White | `color_traits<T>::white()` | `T` | Returns an object that represents the color white.
Get Color Gray | `color_traits<T>::gray()` | `T` | Returns an object that represents the color gray.
Get Color Black | `color_traits<T>::black()` | `T` | Returns an object that represents the color black.

### Models

- `default_color_type` (in `boost/graph/properties.hpp`)
