- <code>(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'rainbow-delimiters-mode)</code>

- <code>M-x rainbow-delimiters-mode</code>

+- To enable it only in specific modes, add lines like the following:
+<br /><code>(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook 'rainbow-delimiters-mode)</code>

-This is because Emacs can guess frame-background-mode incorrectly,
-causing rainbow-delimiters to use its light color scheme on dark
-backgrounds.
+- To activate the mode globally, add to your init file:
+<br /><code>(global-rainbow-delimiters-mode)</code>
-The light/dark color schemes differ only in their brightness level.
+- To temporarily activate rainbow-delimiters mode in an open buffer:
+<br /><code>M-x rainbow-delimiters-mode</code>
