No, because: "Properties inherit into the 'marker' element from its ancestors; properties do not inherit from the element referencing the 'marker' element." http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#MarkerElement You can write <marker color="red" ...><path fill="currentColor" ...>... or set color on the svg element. But this does not really help, if you want to reuse the marker with different colors. But at least you can reuse the content of marker with a use-element or a DTD entity definition and put it into different marker elements, one for each color. And ... display="marker" has the same effect as display="inline" or display="block". Olaf
