What is the syntax to change the InkColor of an InkSketch control?

I have tried:
$('.sketch').InkColor(clr);

And:
$('.sketch').css('color', clr);

Neither worked.

I found the fd_inkcolor attribute. I have tried:
var clr = $(this).css('background-color');
$('.sketch').data("fd_inkcolor", clr);

Yes, the code indeed doesn't change the pen color dynamically, it only applies when the canvas is being created.

In order to change it dynamically, please use:

This is awesome. Thank you.
