There is a “hard” XML editing way for machines that are missing the necessary package for the much simpler plugin: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/XML-Examples.html#XML-Examples-ColorMarker .

Perhaps an easier way is to (while with the arrow selected) select “Path” then “Stroke to path” to translate the whole arrow into a path rather than a line segment. You can then set the whole thing to whatever colour you want.
Not a perfect solution (some arrow heads still have a black border) but good enough for most of my purposes.

Thanks for your contribution, Jamie (and others). Recall that this blog has moved to handyfloss.net. You can follow this entry there at Inkscape tip: make arrow head’s color match that of its body.

Thanks for the tip!

BTW, on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) I had to install the python-lxml package rather than python-xml.
