Thanks Rodrigo, this is exactly the solution that is described above in this blogpost from 2007. It is nice that you provided pictures for those of us unable to read English ;-)

Hi folks,

I found a solution and posted in my blog: http://www.rodrigoguarischi.com/inkscape-arrowhead-color-bug/

This seems to be still a bug in version 0.47. The only difference is that the “Effects” menu is now renames “Extensions” as documented in the Inkscape handbook. Angelos pointed this out earlier, but maybe it is worth stressing this again:

Extensions -> Modify Path -> Color markers to match stroke

In direct response to andres: Draw your line with arrow head. Color the line to the color you desire – the arrowhead remains black. Now SELECT your line, THEN choose “Extensions” from the menu, then “Modify Path”, finally “Color markers to match stroke” – done.

Kudos to the Inkscape developers for a great software program!

Thank you! How can I make the arrow a different colour now?

Under inkscape 0.47, ubuntu 9.10 karmic: Extensions>Modify path>Colour markers to mark stroke.

Just to align myself with all the others: thank you very much!
You saved me a lot of time.

Thanks for the tip, selecting “Color Markers …” also worked when selecting multiple arrows of different colors.

Hey! Thanks for that entry. It was very useful for me since I spent some time trying to figure out how to make an arrow. Now I know.

Thanks for the tip !

Jamie’s right, on Debian, form lenny on, you’ve got to install the python-lxml package, too.
