dvipng: Color specifications
6.1 Color specifications
========================
The color specification supported by dvipng is by-value or by-name. The
by-value spec starts with the name of a color model (one of 'rgb',
'hsb', 'cmy', 'cmyk', or 'gray') followed by the appropriate number of
parameters. Thus, the color specification 'rgb 0.3 0.4 0.5' would
correspond to the color that is '0.3 0.4 0.5' in its red, blue and green
values. The color model used internally in dvipng is 'RGB' (discretized
to 256 levels), for details on the formulas used in conversion, see the
'xcolor' documentation.
By-name color specifications are single (case-dependent) words and
are compared with color names defined in 'dvipsnam.def' (from the
'graphics' bundle), 'svgnam.def' and 'xcolor.sty' (from the 'xcolor'
bundle). See the 'xcolor' documentation for a list of names and the
corresponding colors.
On the command-line, the name 'Transparent' can also be used as an
argument to '--bg' to choose transparent background. Option
