[Xy-pic] Default color model

[Daniel Müllner]

Hi Vadim and Ross,

if you are willing to use the PDF driver instead of Postscript, there is 
an easy solution: Use the xcolor package with a color space as a package 
option. This will convert all colors to this color space. For example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[gray]{xcolor}
\usepackage[matrix, color, pdf]{xy}
\begin{document}
\xymatrix{*[green]\hbox{green} & *[yellow]\hbox{yellow}}
\end{document}

Regards,

Daniel
