Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Changing color of captions

[carlosmg1982]

Hi!!

I am introducing in a document some float images, and I would like to change automatically the color of the captions. I have tried this in the preamble:

\renewcommand{\figurename}{\color{Blue}Figure}

But it does not work. It is still black

Anyone has any idea what I can do??

I use LyX under MAC OSX

Documentation of caption package, section 4.

An example (goes into the Preamble: Document > Settings > LaTeX Preamble):

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\DeclareCaptionFont{myblue}{\color{RoyalBlue}}
\captionsetup{labelfont={myblue,bf}}

I used "RoyalBlue" color provided by xcolor package with "svgnames" option just to point out that you don't have to stick with "standard" colors, but you may choose any color you like (or mix your own).

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\DeclareCaptionFont{myblue}{\color{RoyalBlue}}
\captionsetup{labelfont={myblue,bf}}

Addendum: This could also we written as:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[labelfont={color=RoyalBlue,bf}]{caption}
