Question

LaTeX Colors in Open Study

Answer 1

I was messing around with the different basic colors from a chart I found on wikipedia and I noticed that only some of them actually work in Open Study.

So I thought I'd make a chart of the colors that seem to be working, at least for me.
\[\large \begin{matrix}\color{aquamarine}{aquamarine} & \color{blue}{blue} & \color{black}{black} \\
\color{brown}{brown} & \color{cadetblue}{cadetblue} & \color{cornflowerblue}{cornflowerblue} \\
\color{darkorchid}{darkorchid} & \color{forestgreen}{forestgreen} & \color{fuchsia}{fuchsia} \\
\color{gray}{gray} & \color{green}{green} & \color{greenyellow}{greenyellow} \\
\color{limegreen}{limegreen} & \color{magenta}{magenta} & \color{maroon}{maroon} \\
\color{orange}{orange} & \color{orangered}{orangered} & \color{orchid}{orchid} \\
\color{purple}{purple} & \color{red}{red} & \color{royalblue}{royalblue} \\
\color{seagreen}{seagreen} & \color{skyblue}{skyblue} & \color{springgreen}{springgreen} \\
\color{thistle}{thistle} & \color{turquoise}{turquoise} & \color{violet}{violet} \\
\ \color{blueviolet}{blueviolet} & \color{cyan}{cyan} & \color{goldenrod}{goldenrod} \\
\ \color{lavender}{lavender} & \color{midnightblue}{midnightblue} & \color{plum}{plum} \\
\ \color{\tan}{\tan} & \color{violetred}{violetred} & \color{white}{white} \\
\color{yellow}{yellow} & \color{yellowgreen}{yellowgreen} & \color{salmon}{salmon} & \end{matrix}\]
If there is already a thread on this, then I apologize. I didn't feel like digging through all of the closed threads though. :) lol

Answer 2

Example how to use color in the Equation tool:

\color{blue}{x^2+y^2=4}

The way it will look formatted:
\[\color{blue}{x^2+y^2=4}\]

If you forget to put the \ in front of color, that's fine. The equation tool allows for that.

Answer 4

cool. sounds exhausting tho lol

Answer 5

I've gotten kind of used to avoiding using the buttons (except for matrices). So if you're familiar with typing the fraction notation, it's very similar.

Hah :D yah i guess XD

Answer 6

frac{}{}

color{}{}

Answer 7

I'm going off to create a pretty reply to somebody's post. Thx for the LaTeX tips

Answer 8

@zepdrix: You can also use hex colors!\[\color{#ff0000}{\text{\color{#ff0000}{}}}\]\[\color{#96cdcd}{\text{\color{#96cdcd}{}}}\]So, you can use ALL the colors possible on OpenStudy.

Answer 9

Oooo very fun :)

Answer 10

\[\textbf{TIPS}\]Use the darker shades. \(\color{#C00}{\text{#C00}}\) is much more comfortable than \(\color{red}{\rm red}\). Avoid using colors when you can -- `\textbf`, `\textit` and `\underline` are warmly welcome =)

Answer 11

How do you write things in those little comment boxes like that?

Answer 12

```

```

Answer 13

`Oooo fun :O Grrr now how'd you change it green in the box? D:::`

Man I got a lot to learn T.T
