\part*{Introduction}
As the author of \XePersian\ package (a package for Persian typesetting in \LaTeX\ over \XeTeX), I always wanted to write a package that make writing in colours easy in bidirectional texts. However there are packages \textsf{color} and \textsf{xcolor}, but writing bidirectional texts in different colours using these packages is a nightmare and the colours of the text will get mixed. In fact, the \textsf{bidi} package has a patch where one could use the packages mentioned above to write text in colour but unfortunately that text has got to be not more than a line, otherwise the colour of the text gets mixed.
Thus, I wrote \textsf{xecolour} package which allows the user to write texts in 140 different colours without any problem. I have used \XeTeX's feature to define 140 colours and I believe these 140 colours are all one needs. The command names are just the names of colours (i.e. "\blue" for blue colour) and the general syntax is:
\begingroup
\catcode`\<=12
\Mac \colourname{<text>}
\endgroup
In the next section, you will see a sample of each colour, and at the end of this manual, in the index part, all commands are written in alphabetical order. So if you wish to use a specific colour, please look at the index and find the command you should use.
