You 0147 can use a color declared with <code>\definecolor</code> in exactly the same 0148 way that we just used the builtin color ‘<samp>magenta</samp>’. 0149 </p> 0150 <div class="example"> 0151 <pre class="example">\definecolor{MidlifeCrisisRed}{rgb}{1.0,0.11,0.0} 0152 I'm thinking about getting a \textcolor{MidlifeCrisisRed}{sports car}. 0153 </pre></div> 0154 0155 <p>The two <code>\textcolor</code> and <code>\color</code> differ in that the first is 0156 a command form, enclosing the text to be colored as an argument. Often 0157 this form is more convenient, or at least more explicit. The second 0158 form is a declaration, as in <code>The moon is made of {\color{green} 0159 green} cheese</code>, so it is in effect until the end of the current group 0160 or environment. This is sometimes useful when writing macros or as 0161 below where it colors everything inside the <code>center</code> environment, 0162 including the vertical and horizontal lines. 0163 </p> 0164 <div class="example"> 0165 <pre class="example">\begin{center} \color{blue} 0166 \begin{tabular}{l|r} 0167 UL &UR \\ \hline 0168 LL &LR 0169 \end{tabular} 0170 \end{center} 0171 </pre></div> 0172 0173 <p>You can use color in equations.

Those are the second forms in the 0190 synopses. 0191 </p> 0192 <div class="example"> 0193 <pre class="example">Colors of \textcolor[rgb]{0.33,0.14,0.47}{Purple} and 0194 {\color[rgb]{0.72,0.60,0.37} Gold} for the team. 0195 </pre></div> 0196 0197 <p>The format of <var>color specification </var> depends on the color model 0198 (see <a href="Color-models.html#Color-models">Color models</a>).
