Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ float | Color of Caption Number for new Float Type

[Kenton]

I've used a \newfloat to distinguish one set of figures from another. I've been able to change the title and text of the caption to blue but cannot seem to change the counter number to blue. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{float}
\floatstyle{plain}
\newfloat{Teacher}{thp}{lop}
\floatname{Teacher}{\textcolor{blue}{Teacher's Guide}}

\begin{document}
\begin{Teacher}[h!]
\begin{center}
A picture would go here.
\end{center}
\caption{\textcolor{blue}{Caption for the picture goes here.}}
\end{Teacher}
\end{document}

You could use the caption package for coloring captions for a specific float type.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFont{blue}{\color{blue}}
\captionsetup[Teacher]{font={blue}}

This one will work, too:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[Teacher]{font={color=blue}}

That's what I needed. Thanks.
