Xcolor provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color
tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to
select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for
conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command
for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like
horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed …
