The following code sample shows a DITAVAL document that specifies that a background color of #ffffb3 is used when there are conflicts:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<val>
  <style-conflict background-conflict-color="#ffffb3"/>
  <prop action="flag" att="platform" val="dita" backcolor="#ccffb3"/>
  <prop action="flag" att="platform" val="lwdita" backcolor="#ffe6ff"/>

Any element that specifies a value of dita lwdita or lwdita dita is rendered with a light-yellow background color.
