Modifying \section{} to make it colorful with LaTeX

How can I change the \section{} style? Especially I want to change the color of section heading.

I happen to find some neat style following Edward R. Tufte (http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/), and I'm trying to find a way to modify the section color.

color package works fine, but the thing is that the color chapter number is not changed.

\section{\color{Red}ELPA}
Solution

  • Use package titlesec.

    Put this in the LaTeX header (before \begin{document})

    \usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{color}


\titleformat{\section}
{\color{red}\normalfont\Large\bfseries}
{\color{red}\thesection}{1em}{}
