Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Colors in tables

[Bozack]

Hi,

I'we just tried using some color in a table heading, to get it to look better - and I wanted to use a color I defined myself. To do the table-coloring I use the package colortbl.

My problem is that it does not recognize colors that I myself have defined. It gives me the error

Code: Select all

Package xcolor Error: Undefined color model 'NavyBlue'.

When I try to use the color in pstricks, though, it does understand the color...?

Does anyone see how this can be fixed? An example file is attached below:

[phi]

The first optional argument to \rowcolor is a color model, and NavyBlue is not a color model—that is exactly what the error message says. Probably you meant \rowcolor{NavyBlue}.

You should reorganize your preamble a little bit.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,final,onecolumn]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[danish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[table,dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{pst-grad,pst-coil,pst-node,pst-plot,pst-circ,pstricks-add}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amsmath,amssymb}

%\definecolor{NavyBlue}{cmyk}{0.94,0.54,0,0}

With the dvipsnames option to xcolor, the color NavyBlue is predefined (see the manual). The table option loads the colortbl package as described in the manual.


Best regards

That worked

Thanks for the tip - I'll look into that when I'we got a little more time - for now I'll use the little fix from phi

You will have to use the suggestion of phi anyway.

Heh, yeah, I just figured that out

Thanks for the help
