I'm trying to use color and background color together. But, for example, the following is not working - showing only a black box. What I may be missing here and how can it be fixed.?
Remark: I'm using MikTeX (with default installation) on my Windows-10
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\title{\LaTeX}
\begin{document}
\[\colorbox{black}{\color{white}\LaTeX}\]
\end{document}
Desired output: Something like the following:
To reproduce showed image, try the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor} % <---
%\title{\LaTeX}
\begin{document}
\[
\colorbox{black}{\color{white}\textit{\LaTeX}} % <---
\]
\end{document}
MikTeX (thank you). I thought color package was a part of amsmath package. Obviously, I was wrong. It worked after I loaded color package. And, the same was true when I tried your suggestion of loading xcolor package. I suppose xcolor is an extension of color package.

xcolor is is an advanced color upgrade/supersede of the color package. With option table: [table]{xcolor] also contain advanced functionality of the colortbl package.

xcolorpackage, it works ontexlive. Does it make any difference by loading it inMikTeX? – Alan Xiang Jan 15 at 5:06MikTeX, as well. It also worked withcolorpackage. – nam Jan 15 at 15:05\colorboxso your question is very misleading. – David Carlisle Jan 15 at 15:39colorpackage, following works on myMikTeXinstallation on Windows-10. Am I not be doing something right here?:\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{color} \begin{document} \[\colorbox{black}{\color{white}\LaTeX}\] \end{document}– nam Jan 15 at 15:54
