# preferred(_:)

An explicit tint color that the system can override.

```
static func preferred(_ tint: Color) -> ListItemTint
```

## Parameters

`tint`

The color to use to tint the content.

## Discussion

On macOS, the system can override this tint with the person’s chosen
accent color when one is set. Use [`fixed(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ListItemTint/fixed(_:)) to prevent the
system from overriding the tint.
