I would like to set the colors for a pdf export of an org-mode file based on the structural elements. That is something like

* This Headline Should Be Blue
** This subheadline should be green
   - List items should be black
Plain text should be black

Currently, I can modify the font and font color for the entire exported document with the following:

#+LATEX_HEADER:\usepackage{fontspec}
#+LATEX_HEADER:\setmainfont[Color=Green]{Fira Sans}
#+LATEX_HEADER:\setsansfont[Color=Green]{Fira Sans}

And I can set the color for a specific region with something like

\addfontfeature{Color=red} this part is red \addfontfeature{Color=black} and now back to black

But I'd like to define consistent rules across the document so I don't have to keep manually switching back and forth between colors.

How about the following: 

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{titlesec}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \titleformat*{\section}{\color{blue}}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \titleformat*{\subsection}{\color{green}}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \titleformat*{\paragraph}{\color{black}}

  • Thanks. This looks to work for \section and \paragraph, but the \subsection coloring is also black. (The titlesec package also kinda messes with some other formatting, but that's a separate issue)

  • Hmm - not sure what's going on there, sorry.

  • This worked for me when I added #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{xcolor}
