### Description

Changes the color of the **interior** of all following shapes, until another fill() is called. Shapes have borders and interiors - [stroke()](https://learnpython.strivemath.com/p5-python-web/reference/colour-and-outline/stroke) changes the border, while fill() changes the interior. Input can either be the name of an HTML color, a value **0 - 255** for greyscale values with **0 being black** and **255 being white**. Input can also be three numbers for the RGB or HSB color scale - see [colorMode()](https://learnpython.strivemath.com/p5-python-web/reference/colour-and-outline/colormode).
