Package `xcolor' by Dr. Uwe Kern (xcolor at ukern dot de) v2.00 (2004/07/04) `xcolor' 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 nine color models, alternating table row colors, color blending and masking, and color separation.
