Hi, I would like to color polygons from a shape file layer according to a specific attribute of this shape file. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Yes, you can do this in the Draw Style dialog by selecting ColorByProperty and adding a new style with a property_name of gpml:shapefileAttributes:<attribute-name> and then using your own CPT file (colour palette) to map the attribute’s values to colours.

Also, this post has some relevant details.
