I know how to define a color using \definecolor
with literals to describe the color. How can I define a color using an already defined color? In other words: How can I make a color accessible under multiple names?
This can be simply done using
\colorlet{mycolor}{someothercolor}
from the xcolor
package. Here someothercolor
can be any other color name or a color mix like
colora!<number>!colorb
.
You should note that this copies the current color definition. If someothercolor
is changed afterwards (e.g. using another \colorlet
) mycolor
will not change.
