Summary description: Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> 2005/10/15 v2.06
> * New features:
> - color model `wave' for (approximate) visualisation of light
> wavelengths, still somewhat experimental;
> - pseudo-model `ps' for colors defined by literal PostScript code
> in conjunction with `pstricks and `dvips'; an illustrative
> example for a gamma-correction approach is given in xcolor2.tex;
> - \substitutecolormodel command for replacement of missing or
> faulty driver-specific color models;
> - improved detection and handling of driver-specific color models;
> - `dvipdfmx' and `xetex' options to support these drivers;
> - generic driver test file xcolor4.tex.
> * Changes:
> - \XC at strip@comma doesn't generate a trailing space anymore, which
> improves also the output of the `testcolors' environment.

xcolor – Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX
The package starts from the basic facilities of the color package, and provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like \color{red!30!green!40!blue}.
