You could use \definecolorseries
:
\definecolor{base}{HTML}{AADD96}
\definecolorseries{moresaturated}{hsb}{step}{base}{0,0.2,0}
\resetcolorseries{moresaturated}
will let you use moresaturated!![1]
for a somewhat more saturated colour, moresaturated!![2]
for an even more saturated one, and so on. (But beware overflow: once the saturation reaches 1, it's reset to zero. Here moresaturated!![4]
is less saturated than base
.)
Obviously you can use the same trick to go down in saturation, or up or down in brightness.
This problem is corrected by ensuring that the colour model is explicitly declared in the preamble, using \setcolormodel{HTML}
.
Although it does not appear to make a difference in this instance, the xcolor
manual (table 2, p10) specifically instructs that colortbl
should be passed as an option to xcolor
. However, the baposter
class loads xcolor
, since it is based on pgf
, so it is necessary to use \PassOptionsToPackage{table}{xcolor}
before the declaration of the baposter
document class. In the modified MWE below, I extended this to make provision for using colour names defined using dvipsnames
and svgnames
, thus: \PassOptionsToPackage{table,dvipsnames,svgnames}{xcolor}
.
These two small modifications provide the correct colours, and the opportunity to use an extended range of color definitions - no need to hack the baposter
class.
The code is:
\PassOptionsToPackage{table,dvipsnames,svgnames}{xcolor} %<-- Pass colortbl and defined colours to xcolor
\documentclass[a0paper,portrait]{baposter}
\usepackage{relsize} % Used for making text smaller in some places
%\usepackage{color, colortbl} % define own fancy colours
\graphicspath{{figures/}} % Directory in which figures are stored
\selectcolormodel{HTML} %<-- Add colour model defintion
\definecolor{VeryCold}{HTML}{000000} % becomes 231F20 in the pdf
\definecolor{Cold}{HTML}{FFFFFF} % stays FFFFFF in the pdf
\definecolor{Cool}{HTML}{FF0000} % becomes ED1C24 in the pdf
\definecolor{SlightlyCool}{HTML}{00FF00} % becomes 00A650 in the pdf
\definecolor{Comfortable}{HTML}{0000FF} % becomes 2E3192 in the pdf
%\definecolor{Comfortable}{RGB}{00, 00, 255} % no difference so the method to define the colors should be fine

A couple of brief off-topic points: \headerbox
was replaced by \posterbox
since 2011, although backwards compatibility still allows it to be used. I was surprised to discover in my testing that the correct colours were also enabled by \selectcolormodel{rgb}
, even when the colours were specified in HTML. I guess this is related to xcolor
converting HTML to rgb.

The color of the line used by
cancel
can be changed withYou could include this in a new cancel-command where an optional argument defines the color.
