I never liked the difficulties one has to handle when using colours or 
any exotic fonts in LaTeX. This small example, written in ConTeXt was 
"stolen" from page 78 in 
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/ms-cb-en.pdf
and can be "compiled" with
	texexec filename

(It may take some time to switch from LaTeX to ConTeXt, but in my 
opinion it's worth every penny of it.)

All the best,
	Mojca

Hasselt has produced a few well known people. Only recently it
turned out that Kilian van Rensselaer played a prominent role in
the foundation of the State of New York.
