-color:
When -color: is set to on, colors can be assigned to characters and lines by \specials given below(Property Sheets->[Graphic]).
color push gray x
color push rgb x y z
color push cmyk x y z n
color push hsb x y z
color push color
color pop
background <col>
are supported. "x", "y", "z", and "n" are real numbers between 0 and 1. "color" is assigned any one of 68 colors, such as black, white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow. In "<col>", the color specification after the "push" above it is used.Spaces and commas delimit the color specifications.
If colors are painted over by the AND operator, for example, yellow on top of green is not visible, but turns to black when red is drawn. If the "r" suboption is added at the end of each special, replace is used to make replacements. However, white is always replaced (cf. -cmode:).
The color specifications for dvips are handled by graphicx.sty in LaTeX2e. When "Display -> Color replace" is checked in the tool bar, the default is replaced.
Note: These definitions are considered to be independent on each page.
