The blank color on the Fill ribbon (the cross hatched area at the bottom-right of the color-picker grid) takes on the background color of the document. This is useful for creating symbols that can cover an element on which the symbol is placed. Incorporating a fill with blank color into the symbol allows the symbol, when placed, to mask out elements such as lines or connectors that intersect the symbol.
