turtle.fillcolor() function in Python (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2025

The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses Tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.

turtle.fillcolor()

This method is used to return or set the fillcolor. If turtleshape is a polygon, the interior of that polygon is drawn with the newly set fillcolor.

Syntax : turtle.fillcolor(*args)

Parameters:

• fillcolor() : Return the current fillcolor as color specification string, possibly in hex-number format.
• fillcolor(colorstring) : It is a Tk color specification string, such as "red" or "yellow".
• fillcolor((r, g, b)) : A tuple of r, g, and b, which represent, an RGB color, and each of r, g, and b are in the range 0 to colormode
• fillcolor(r, g, b) : r, g, and b represent an RGB color, and each of r, g, and b are in the range 0 to colormode.

Below is the implementation of the above method with some examples :

Example 1 :

Python3 `

importing package

import turtle

set turtle

turtle.shape("turtle") turtle.turtlesize(3,3,1)

check by default value

print(turtle.fillcolor())

set blue color

turtle.fillcolor("blue")

check fillcolor value

print(turtle.fillcolor())

`

Output :

black blue

Example 2 :

Python3 `

importing package

import turtle

method to draw a star

def star(): for i in range(5): turtle.forward(60) turtle.right(144)

method to set position

and fill color in star

def draw(x,y,col): turtle.up() turtle.setpos(x,y) turtle.down() turtle.fillcolor(col) turtle.begin_fill() star() turtle.end_fill()

Driver Code

draw(-100,0,"red") draw(-50,0,"yellow") draw(0,0,"blue") draw(50,0,"green")

hide the turtle

turtle.hideturtle()

`

Output :
