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.  SeeOption
 details.
