 and provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints,
 shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors.  It allows a user to select a
 document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion
 between eight color models.  Additionally, there is a command for alternating
 row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in
 tables.")
