Text Formatting ⇒ Using color in the label in the listing environment

[lances]

Greetings,

Suppose I have a following list:

\begin{enumerate}
\item ABC
\item DEF
\item GHI
\end{enumerate}

The output is

1. ABC
2. DEF
3. GHI

Now I would like to have these labels (1,2,3) colored in blue, for example, while keeping the color of the text (ABC, DEF, GHI) as it is. How can I do it? Please advise.

1. ABC
2. DEF
3. GHI

Best regards,

[frabjous]

You should be able to do that with a combination of the xcolor and enumitem packages. E.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
 \begin{enumerate}[label=\textcolor{blue}{\arabic*.}]
  \item ABC
  \item DEF
  \item GHI
 \end{enumerate}
\end{document}

Is it possible to do this without using enumitem package?

Using this package is the most easiest solution. I wonder about the reason that makes you oppose.

The following code works without enumitem:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color} % or xcolor, as you like
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
  \renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\textcolor{blue}{\arabic{enumi}.}}
  \item ABC
  \item DEF
  \item GHI
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

If the list is nested in one or more enumerate environments, you should replace the enumi suffix in \labelenumi and enumi by enumii, enumiii or enumiv, depending on the nesting level. This nuisance can be avoided by using enumitem, since this package takes care automatically of the nesting level.
