I am trying to type my lecture notes for my courses, and I would like to create a theorem environment for theorems, examples, solutions, etc. In each environment, I would like for a particular color of text to be used. E.g., I would like to write
Ex. 1: Examine the function $f(x)=\frac{x^2-1}{x-1}$.
by typing something like:
\begin{example}
Examine the function $f(x)=\frac{x^2-1}{x-1}$.
\end{example}
Please help! I have scoured the internet, but I have had no luck! Thank you!

Color Theorem Environments
Here's a solution using the ntheorem and xcolor packages. (The lipsum package is put in there just to produce filler text.) Read especially the ntheorem documentation for more options.
Code: Select all
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ntheorem,xcolor}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\theoremstyle{plain}
\theorembodyfont{\color{blue}}
\theoremseparator{:}
\newtheorem{example}{Ex.}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{example}
Examine the function $f(x)=\frac{x^2-1}{x-1}$.
\end{example}
\lipsum[3]
\end{document}
