Hi, Thanks for the insight. What I'm really trying to get is multiple colors in the title text. For example, if mpl didn't convert all text to black, I would want the following to produce blue and red text: pylab.rc( 'text' , usetex=True ) pylab.rc( 'text.latex' , preamble='\usepackage[usenames]{color}' ) pylab.title( '\\textcolor{Blue}{blue part} \\textcolor{Red}{red part}') Is there a particular reason why mpl has to convert png colored text to black and white?
