= Enabling colors =
In current versions (earlier than 11.05.2009) of ConTeXt mkiv, colors are enabled by default.
In older versions, colors must be enabled using
<cmd>setupcolors</cmd><tt>[state=start]</tt>.
=Using Colors=
Using colors with ConTeXt is easy:
* Start with <cmd>setupcolors</cmd><tt>[state=start]</tt>. Without that, everything appears in greys.
* RGB and CMYK are enabled by default. If you want only RGB or only CMYK color, use <tt>cmyk=no</tt> or <tt>rgb=no</tt>. Multitone colors see below.
* For spot colors, say spot=yes. To eliminate everything except spot colours, leaving a clean file for professional printing, accompany this with rgb=no,cmyk=no. See spot colours below for more details.
