+`Chroma: a reference book of LaTeX colors'
+ by Dr. Uwe Kern
+(chroma at ukern dot de)
+
+v1.00 (2004/04/04)
+
+This reference book presents several lists of colors and their
+respective parameters in a number of color models.
+The lists are constructed either by parameters or by name.
+
+`Colors by parameters' displays systematic series of colors, based on
+3-tuples of numbers that are interpreted as color parameters in the
+`rgb', `cmy', and `hsb' color models.
+
+`Colors by name' displays sets of colors that have been given specific
+names such that LaTeX users do not have to care about their
+parametrisation. However, as soon as there is the intention to use
+these colors outside the LaTeX world (e.g. website construction or
+drawing programs), the parameters suddenly gain importance.
+For each color name, we display
+- the color itself plus the name of the underlying model,
+- a 50%-tint (mixture with `white'),
+- a 50%-tone (mixture with `gray'),
+- a 50%-shade (mixture with `black'),
+- and the complementary color.
+Additionally, for the base colors defined by the `xcolor' package, also
+all 50%-mixes of base color pairs are included.
