Another colorful question...

[Walt Burkhard]

I am trying to slightly enhance the TeX command "input color"
so it will include the  547 color definitions  due to Loreti.

What I would like is to leave this additional info (say within the
../tex-local/.. folder) so various TeX-live updates will continue
to operate correctly.

Currently I am using a less than optimal approach in which I
have modified a TeX-live file not in the ../tex-local/... .
 .../texlive/YYYY/tex-dist/tex/latex/graphics-def/dvips.def
by adding the following line at the end of the file
\input /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/plain/local/colordef.tex

currently when I run tex on a file with \input color  is obtain

This is TeX, Version 3.141592653 (TeX Live 2021) (preloaded format=tex)

(./test.tex

(/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/tex/plain/graphics-pln/color.tex

(/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/plain/local/miniltx.tex)

(/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/tex/latex/graphics/color.sty

(/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/tex/latex/graphics-cfg/color.cfg)

(/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/tex/latex/graphics-def/dvips.def

(/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/plain/local/colordef.tex)))) [1] )

Output written on test.dvi (1 page, 304 bytes).

Transcript written on test.log.


I have attached this file below with the test.pdf as well.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
