The structure is:

{\colortbl; color1; color2; ... colorN;}

where <colorN> is a set of describing RTF keywords:

•"\red<number>"        declares the red amount of an RGB value

•"\green<number>"        declares the green amount of an RGB value

•"\blue<number>"        declares the blue amount of an RGB value

 

For example:

{\colortbl; \red0\green0\blue0; \red0\green0\blue255; \red0\green255\blue0;}

Declares three colors (black, blue and green), which can be referenced later in the document with:

•"\cf<index>"        specifies the foreground color

•"\cb<index>"        specifies the background color

•"\cf1\cb2 Hello \cf3\cb1 World!"

"Hello" is shown black on blue and "World!" green on black.

Note that the first entry in the color-table has the index 1.
