public class ColorType extends Object
 Each SynthStyle has a set of ColorTypes that
 are accessed by way of the
 SynthStyle.getColor(SynthContext, ColorType) method.
 SynthStyle's installDefaults will install
 the FOREGROUND color
 as the foreground of
 the Component, and the BACKGROUND color to the background of
 the component (assuming that you have not explicitly specified a
 foreground and background color). Some components
 support more color based properties, for
 example JList has the property
 selectionForeground which will be mapped to
 FOREGROUND with a component state of
 SynthConstants.SELECTED.
 
 The following example shows a custom SynthStyle that returns
 a red Color for the DISABLED state, otherwise a black color.
 
 class MyStyle extends SynthStyle {
     private Color disabledColor = new ColorUIResource(Color.RED);
     private Color color = new ColorUIResource(Color.BLACK);
     protected Color getColorForState(SynthContext context, ColorType type){
         if (context.getComponentState() == SynthConstants.DISABLED) {
             return disabledColor;
         }
         return color;
     }
 }
