Text Formatting ⇒ Colors package not working

[thorpn]

I am using the color package but i cannot get the following macro working right ?

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\yellow}[1]{\textcolor{YellowOrange}{#1}}

Does any one know of this problem ?

Thank you

There is nothing wrong with the command. This works for me:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\newcommand{\yellow}[1]{\textcolor{YellowOrange}{#1}}
    
\begin{document}

black \yellow{yellow}

\end{document}
