I found that I can change current pagecolor with

\newpagecolor{color}\afterpage{\restorepagecolor}

so I tried to use

\newpagecolor{color}\newpagecolor{color}\afterpage{\restorepagecolor},

that unfortunately changes the color for all pages after this command. Any ideas how to limit this command only to the current and the next page?

  • The second \newpagecolor{color} after \newpagecolor is wrong since the restore color is overwritten with that value, so if the previous colour was white, and \newpagecolor{red} is used, then \restorepagecolor would restore to white, since this is the previous color information. \newpagecolor{red}\newpagecolor{red} would first save white, but then then 2nd usage would save red, so \restorepagecolor would restore to red for the rest of the document (or until another \newpagecolor is used)

Set the page colour, and then \restore it using a nested \afterpage:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pagecolor,afterpage}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-20]
\newpagecolor{red}
\afterpage{\afterpage{\restorepagecolor}}
\lipsum[1-40]

\end{document}

Exactly the same approach can be followed using xcolor's \pagecolor command.
