Defining and using colors

• One scheme:
  • To define colors, put in your preamble:
    \input colordvi 
    \def\Red#1{\Color{0 0.70 0.70 0.2}{#1}} 
    \def\Green#1{\Color{0.70 0 0.5 0.2}{#1}} 
    \def\Blue#1{\Color{0.70 0 0 0.2}{#1}}
  • To use:
    Her eyes were \Green{hazel}.
• Second scheme:
  • To use colors, you have several options: 
    \textcolor{name_of_color}{text} 
    {\color{name_of_color} text} 
    {\color[color_model]{x,y,z} text} % For example, color_model might be 'rgb' and x,y,z might be '0,1,0'
  • Another syntax for defining a color is: 
    \definecolor{name_of_color}{color_model}{x,y,z} % e.g.  {MyBlue}{rgb}{0.8,0.85,1}
