Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
children	node		The content of the component.
color	'danger' \| 'info' \| 'neutral' \| 'primary' \| 'success' \| 'warning' \| string	selected ? 'primary' : 'neutral'	The color of the component. It supports those theme colors that make sense for this component.

The ref is forwarded to the root element.
