\usepackage{color} % load color package

%\definecolor{<color_name>}{<color model>}{<values>}

% syntax for defining colors; color models can be, rgb, cmyk, gray;
% values are comma separated decimal values
% color names can be any logical name you might assign for a color

% eg:

\definecolor{lavender}{rgb}{.902, .902, .98}

\definecolor{gray10}{gray}{.9} % 10% gray

% Usage:

\textcolor{lavender}{text material to appear in lavender color}

%or 

\color{lavender} Material to appear in color .... \normalcolor

or you might define environments which would start and end the
particular color you want.

Useful documentation:

* grfguide.ps(.gz), which is available in any standard TeX distribution.

* TUGIndia on-line tutorial which describes color table available at:
