Possible Problems

TEX was not designed with colour in mind, and producing colours requires a lot of help from the driver program. Thus, depending on the driver, some or all features of the <#131#>color<#131#> package may not be available.

Some drivers do not maintain a special `colour stack'. These drivers are likely to get confused if you nest colour changes, or use colours in floating environments.

Some drivers do not maintain colours over a page break, so that if the page breaks in the middle of a coloured paragraph, the last part of the text will incorrectly be printed in black.

There is a different type of problem that will occur for all drivers. Due to certain technical difficulties, it is possible that at points where the colour changes, the spacing is affected. For this reason the |monochrome| option does not completely disable the colour commands, it redefines them to write to the log file. This will have the same effects on spacing, so you can produce monochrome drafts of your document, at least knowing that the final spacing is being shown.
