In Org mode we can use C-c C-x C-l to preview LaTeX equations in the text.

I am using a theme that makes it hard to read the equation in the default font color, and I want to avoid changing the scale to make it more readable.

Question: How can I change the font color used when previewing LaTeX equations within Org mode with C-c C-x C-l?

Related Question: Is there a preamble that is used to generate the preview equations with C-c C-x C-l? If so, how can I change it?

Thank you for helping!

To change the font color you can customize the variable org-format-latex-options, specifically the foreground, for example to "whitesmoke".

Maybe you also have to pay attention to this

  • I am trying to make this work, but the link you pointed me to uses dvipng, but I am using svg images. Do you know what I would have to change? Jul 12, 2019 at 22:02
  • I set the value of :foreground to "whitesmoke", but when I preview a table it just does not change the color. I tried changing the value of all other properties in org-format-latex-options, but nothing seems to be changing. Jul 12, 2019 at 22:04

The preamble is in org-format-latex-header. You can customize it via M-x customize-option RET org-format-latex-header RET.

For red equations (as an example) add \AtBeginDocument{\color{red}} at the end of the header lines. Apply and save the option.
