+Outside coloring mode
+=====================
+
+**Syntax**:(outcoloring integer)
+
+Outcoloring modes are similar to :ref:`incoloring modes <incoloring>`, but
+indicate how to display the areas outside the set instead. As with incoloring
+modes, the value of the latest orbit can be used to determine the color of each
+pixel, but the default is to use the number of iterations needed for the value
+at that point to become recognisably divergent as the color.
+
+The :tutor:`tutorial on outcoloring <outcolor.xaf>` has more information
+and examples.
+
+The cryptic names of the modes are mathematical formulae, where **iter** means
+the number of iterations required for the value to become recognisably
+divergent, **real** means the real part of the latest orbit, and **imag** means
+the imaginary part. **binary decomposition** uses a different color when the
+imaginary part of the orbit is lower than zero, and **smooth** attempts to
+remove stripes and discontinuities. Also, :ref:`truecolor <tcolor>` outcoloring
+modes are available, that display one value in each of the red, blue and green
+color planes (or, for some modes, in each of the hue, saturation and value
+planes).
+
+In the scripting language, the outcoloring mode is specified by one of the
+following integers:

+ use :ref:`outtcoloring <tcolor>`.
