+## Package `xcolor` by Dr. Uwe Kern
+
+Version 2022-06-12 v2.14
+
+Maintained by the LaTeX Project https://github.com/latex3/xcolor/issues
+
+`xcolor` provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of
+colors, tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors by means of
+color expressions like \color{red!50!green!20!blue}.
+It allows to select a document-wide target color model and offers tools
+for automatic color schemes, conversion between nine color models,
+alternating table row colors, color blending and masking, color
+separation, and color wheel calculations.

+## Notes
+
+- `xcolor1.tex` should run with both LaTeX and pdfLaTeX, it yields a
+ 50-page document with several systematic color conversion examples
+- `xcolor2.tex` is a 3-page `pstricks` example document that won't run
+ with pdfLaTeX
+- `xcolor3.tex` is a 2-page example for demonstrating several display
+ and logging facilities
+- `xcolor4.tex` is a 1-page driver test file;
+ uncomment the relevant code line in the header and run it with the
+ appropriate program, e.g., `latex xcolor4` or any other processor;
+ apply any desired post-processing like dvips, dvipdfm, etc.
+- If the file `xcolor.ins` is missing, run `latex xcolor.dtx` once
+ and quit the LaTeX compiler as soon as the first error message
+ appears.
