[gdal-dev] Convert kml to Shapefile and conserve polygon's colors with Ogr2Ogr

[Smith, Michael ERDC-CRREL-NH]

Wael,

First, make sure you are using the libkml driver and not the kml driver.
The libkml driver can read the style information. Then you can get that
information in your shapefile by specifically requesting the ogr_style
column.

Try adding 

-sql 'select *, ogr_style as style from Layer0'
