## 21 Color

You can add color to text, rules, etc. You can also have color in a box or on an entire page and write text on top of it.

Color support comes as an additional package. So put `\usepackage{color}` in your document preamble to use the commands described here.

Many other packages also supplement LaTeX’s color abilities. Particularly worth mentioning is `xcolor`, which is widely used and significantly extends the capabilities described here, including adding ‘`HTML`’ and ‘`Hsb`’ color models.
