Adding Color and Highlighting to LaTeX Math Formulas

Color in mathematical notation can emphasize key concepts. LaTeX provides several packages for coloring math expressions.

The xcolor Package

Load \\usepackage{xcolor} and use \\textcolor{red}{text} or \\color{red} for scope-based coloring.

Color in Equations

\\color{blue}\\int_a^b f(x)\\,dx makes the entire integral blue. Use \\textcolor for specific parts: \\textcolor{red}{\\frac{dy}{dx}} = \\textcolor{blue}{2x}.

Boxed and Highlighted Formulas

\\boxed{E = mc^2} puts a box around your formula. Combine with \\color for highlighted results.
