Type	Description
Color	A Color structure specifying the element content’s foreground color.

Remarks

If the appearance object’s AppearanceOptions.UseForeColor property is set to false and it has a parent, this method returns the value of the parent’s AppearanceObject.ForeColor property. Otherwise, the current appearance object’s AppearanceObject.ForeColor property value is returned.

Note that the appearance object’s AppearanceObject.ParentAppearance property is read only. The parent can be only specified when a new appearance object is created.
