Applying Color to Formula Parts

Use the command color to apply color to the subsequent formula part. The example below creates a formula where a is shown using the default color (black) and b is shown in red. a + color red b Beware that the color command only changes the color of the formula part that comes immediately after it. For example, in the formula below only b will be shown in red, whereas c will be shown in black. a + color red b + c Use braces to apply color to more parts of the formula. In the following example, b and c are shown in red. a + color red { b + c } A list with predefined color names is available here. RGB colors
