General ⇒ Defining color font for the whole document

[nunolf]

Hi guys

I want to produce a document (book) using a text font color different from black (I think is the default value), to say 90% gray.

Of course this is easily doable under latex! Can you guys point me to a good package for managing the colors? I read something about the color package, but got the idea that it was more suited to change the color of some sentences, not the overall text color.

Thanks,
N.

What about the xcolor package? Should be something like the \textcolor command. Just search the documentation for this.

Great!
xcolor seems to manage colors better than color.

And answering my question, it's trivial
Just have to define the color, and b4 starting the real stuff, call the new color.
Just for the record:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,pdftex]{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{bookColor}{cmyk}{0	, 0  , 0   , 0.90}  % 0.90\% of black
\color{bookColor}
\begin{document}
...

Cheers,
N.
