Novice: How to change the headings color of a document

2012-01-19 Thread nomnex 
I do not know what package and what command to pass in a document
preamble to change the color of all the headings (Chapter, section,
sub-sec, etc...), from the default black to another color e.g. dark
blue. I do not need to change the color of the header/footer, which
probably request a different package or set of commands.

Google  the list archive did not help much with my level of knowledge.
I got a hint (see below), about changing the document class, but
I don't know how:

The reason, as Jurgen pointed out, is because the chapter headings turn
up in the page headers---not to mention the TOC. So you really don't
want to change its color anyway, not manually. If you want chapter
headings to be colored, you change that in the document class. 

I probably need \usepackage{color} + a command to color all the
document headings.

Thanks

I do not understand the command syntax to pass in the
