Using Color in Latex

Have you ever wanted to use color in latex? It is actually pretty simple. All you need to do is include the color package:

\usepackage[usenames]{color}

Then you can use simple commands like:

\textcolor{Red}{I like Red.}

To produce:
Here is a list of the 68 standard colors that you could use:

Furthermore, you can define custom colors by specifying the RGB values as follows:

and then using it as you would the other colors, like so:

\textcolor{MyCrazyColor}{My text in my crazy color.}
