Assigning color to connectors

Question

Is it possible to alter the background color of connectors in an activity diagram? My fervent Googling implies it's not, but proving a negative...

E.g.,

@startuml
start
:The connector below 
wishes he was blue;
(B)
:This next connector
feels that she would
be better off green;
(G)
stop
@enduml

Thanks in advance,

Is this what you are looking for ?

@startuml
start
:The connector below
wishes he was blue;
-[#blue]->
:This next connector
feels that she would
be better off green;
-[#green]->
stop
@enduml

No, I'm actually hoping to get the circles (i.e., the 'connectors') coloured. It's sort of confusing nomenclature but the Docs refers to them as connectors.

I mocked up what I want to generate in InkScape below. Is there any way to recreate the following with available PlantUML syntax?

Of course ! This is a good idea.

So with last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar you can now have :

@startuml
start
:The connector below
wishes he was blue;
#blue:(B)
:This next connector
feels that she would
be better off green;
#green:(G)
stop
@enduml

Yes! This is wonderful. I'll do some additional testing on more complicated examples next week and post again if I find any issues, which seems unlikely, but the new syntax is intuitive.

Thanks so much for this.
