I am trying to create an arrow in a different color than black, but the arrow head color is still black. Is it possible to change that?

Inkscape 1.1 by default applies the stroke colour to arrowheads. Look at the options in [Inkscape Preferences > Behaviour > Markers].

Sorry, no, it does not work. I am on 1.1, but this is what I get:

On my machine Inkscape changes the arrowhead colour to match the stroke colour, but not the stroke opacity. (Don't ask me why.) I must use object opacity instead, down at the bottom left off the screen. But your screenshot shows 100% stroke opacity and still the arrowhead is mismatched.  I'm not sure where we diverged.

It seems it works only with some arrow head types. It doesn't work with the one shown above, but it does work with

Markers have a number of unresolved issues. Maybe this is closest report: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/3531

An Inkscape SVG example of the issue in this case may be helpful.

Hello everybody ! I had the same problem and i find a work-around. Select the stroke and then Path / Stroke to Path after this chenge tha colour fill/stroke as usual. I hope it can help somebody.

I can confirm this is an issue on Inkscape 1.1. If I import a colored arrow created in an older version of Inkscape it works just fine, but changing the colors of arrowheads is only allowed for some types. In older versions of Inkscape, I could adjust the till to get arrowheads to change colors, but not in Inkscape 1.1.

This screenshot is taken on a Windows machine.

I had the same issue in Inkscape 1.2. The arrow heads would show black no matter what I would do.

Until I tried: Select the object -> Menu Extensions -> Modify Path -> Color Markers -> Custom -> Fill

I have not used any color for Stroke.

Can confirm this is still an issue in 1.2.2. Additionally, certain markers don't seem to inherit alpha from the path.

Specifically, I'm working with a vertical bar marker (pic 1), which looks like it's individual rectangles when editing on canvas. Color Markers almost works, but the alpha it inherits is wrong (pic 2)

Hello,

I had the same problem on Inkscape 1.3 (1:1.3+202307231459+0e150ed6c4).

Typically, I had none, since selecting the stroke color automatically updated the line and the head.

Anyway, I solved it by:
* select the object
* Extensions -> Styles -> Color Markers -> Custom -> Stroke
* Select the color you like
* Tick the boxes `Modify in place` and `Live preview`

I hope this could help :)

fefe888 Thank youuuuu!!! I was getting this problem when I exported to pdf. After using "stroke to path" the problem was solved.
