On Thu, 24 Mar 2005 Uwe Lück uploaded version 2.02 of the package

  xcolor

to CTAN.

Xcolor 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.  Colors can be mixed like
\color{red!30!green!40!blue}.
