xcolor: LaTeX color extensions
Description
xcolor is a LaTeX package that provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of colors, tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors by means of color expressions like \color{red!50!green!20!blue}.
It allows to select a document-wide target color model and offers tools for
- automatic color schemes,
- conversion between twelve color models (rgb, cmy, cmyk, hsb, Hsb, tHsb, gray, RGB, HTML, HSB, Gray, wave)
- alternating table row colors,
- color blending,
- color masking,
- color separation, and
- color wheel calculations.
See also chroma for an extensive application of xcolor.
