colorinfo

Records the colors used to draw the form when a user signs it. This option is only created if the user is allowing the operating system colors to override the color settings in the form. This is most common for users with vision disabilities who may set the operating system colors to provide better contrast between elements on the screen.

When the operating system colors override those set by the form itself, it is useful to create a record of those colors so that the appearance of the document, when signed, can be recreated.
