Point, line, or if the form fields will be visible. However small a point definitely has the look, size, color, and texture. Form of two kinds, namely:
Two-dimensional shape that has length and width dimensions
Three-dimensional shape that has the dimensions of length, width, and thickness / volume.

e. Color
