This function will create a style object to control background colors and
font settings on your report. The style object can be applied to a
report using the add_style function. Currently, styles may only
be applied to HTML reports.

The font color to be used for the stub column, if one exists on the table.

The style object contains style settings for a report. The style object
allows you to control background colors and font specifications such as
font size, font color, and font bold. The style object can be created
once and reused on many reports. See the add_style function
to learn how to add the style object to a report.
Note that styles will be applied uniformly to the entire report. Also note that at present, styles can be used only on HTML output types. Future versions of the reporter package will provide style support for other output types.
On the style object, colors for background and fonts may be passed as an RGB hex code or a color name. For example, the color red may be passed as the hex code "#FF0000" or as the color name "Red". Color names must conform to HTML/CSS standards. These color names can be easily discovered on the internet. A sample of common color names is presented below.
Many of the parameters on the style object accept a color name or code.
The values accepted for these parameters follow standard HTML/CSS style
color values. Below is a sample of common color names
that can be used to specify colors with the create_style function.
These color names should be passed as a quoted string:
