This reference book presents several lists of colors and their
respective parameters in a number of color models. The lists
are constructed either by parameters or by name.
`Colors by parameters' displays systematic series of
colors, based on 3-tuples of numbers that are interpreted as
color parameters in the `rgb', `cmy', and `hsb' color models.
`Colors by name' displays sets of colors that have been
given specific names such that LaTeX users do not have to care
about their parametrisation. However, as soon as there is the
intention to use these colors outside the LaTeX world
(e.g. website construction or drawing programs), the parameters
suddenly gain importance. For each color name, we display - the
color itself plus the name of the underlying model, - a 50%-tint
(mixture with `white'), - a 50%-tone (mixture with `gray'), - a
50%-shade (mixture with `black'), - and the complementary color.
Additionally, for the base colors defined by the `xcolor'
package, also all 50%-mixes of base color pairs are included.
