# setFillColorSpace(_:)

Sets the fill color space in a graphics context.

## Declaration

```swift
func setFillColorSpace(_ space: CGColorSpace)
```

## Parameters

- `space`: The new fill color space. The color space is retained; upon return, you may safely release it.

## Discussion

Discussion As a side effect of this function, Core Graphics assigns an appropriate initial value to the fill color, based on the specified color space. To change this value, call setFillColor(_:). Note that the preferred API to use is now setFillColor(_:).
