inlineColor.txt

@startuml

state state1 #FF9876
state state2 #lightblue
state state3 #palegreen
state state4 #brown
state state5 #magenta

[*] --> state1
state1 --> state2
state2 --> state3
state3 --> state4
state4 --> state5
state5 --> [*]

You can apply two colors on the state to get color gradient affects.
