Colour is obtained in much the same way that fonts and language changes
colour. @Index @Code "@Colour"
color. @Index @Code "@Color"
are, using the @Code "@Colour" (or equivalently {@Code "@Color"}) symbol:
@ID @Code "grey  @Colour  { Hello, world }"
produces
@ID grey @Colour { Hello, world }
The @Code "@Colour" symbol will accept any of the following colours:
@QD @HAdjust @Tab
    vmargin { 0.7vx }
    hmargin { 0.2c }
    @Fmta { @Col A @Colour @FilledBox ! @Col @Code A ! @Col !
            @Col B @Colour @FilledBox ! @Col @Code B ! @Col !
            @Col C @Colour @FilledBox ! @Col @Code C        }
    @Fmtb { @Col A @Colour @FilledBox ! @Col @Code A ! @Col !
            @Col B @Colour @FilledBox ! @Col @Code B ! @Col !
            @Col                      ! @Col                }
{
@Rowa A { darkred	} B { red		} C { lightred		}
@Rowa A { darkgreen	} B { green		} C { lightgreen	}
@Rowa A { darkblue	} B { blue		} C { lightblue		}
@Rowa A { darkcyan	} B { cyan		} C { lightcyan		}
@Rowa A { darkmagenta	} B { magenta		} C { lightmagenta	}
@Rowa A { darkyellow	} B { yellow		} C { lightyellow	}
@Rowa A { darkgrey	} B { grey		} C { lightgrey		}
@Rowa A { darkgray	} B { gray		} C { lightgray		}
@Rowb A { black    	} B { white		}
}
Monochrome output devices will render them as shades of grey.  Colouring
something @Code white makes it invisible, which is sometimes useful.
@PP
In addition to the list of colours given above, there is a special
colour called {@Code nochange} which produces the colour you already
happen to be using.
@PP
Whether or not the colours produced by @Code "@Colour" actually
correspond with the names depends on the output device; the same
nominal colour can look quite different on screen and on paper.  The
standard Lout @Code "@SetColour" symbol can provide many more colours
setcolour. @Index @Code "@SetColour"
@Cite { $kingston1995lout.expert}, although they must be specified
using numbers rather than names.  For example,
@ID @Code "{ 0.5 0.5 1.0 } @SetColour Hello"
prints @Code Hello in a colour containing red at intensity 0.5, green
at intensity 0.5, and blue at intensity 1.0, which turns out, in the
strange world of colour coordinates, to be a light blue.
