[OS X TeX] the color of color

[Robert Spence]

Dear Alain Schremmer,

I think there's an option 'dvipsnames' which works.  If you write
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{color}
in the preamble,
then you can write
\textcolor[named]{Orange}{this is Orange}
in the document and it will work.

The following also works (at least for me, with TeXShop Version 2  
(2.03) under Mac OS X 10.4.3, and I don't even know what "vanilla"  
_means_ in relation to Mac OS X, as I'm new to this list...)

\begin{displaymath}
    \colorbox[named]{Orange}{$(+2)\oplus(+5)\oplus(-8)\oplus(+4)\oplus 
(-7)$}
    \end{displaymath}

-- but you definitely need to capitalize the word "Orange" and  
include the option [named] with the  \colorbox command, otherwise it  
doesn't work.

Hope that helps,
