Creating Colored Frames around Text in LaTeX

In LaTeX, it's possible to create a colored frame around text using the xcolor package, as demonstrated in a previous post regarding colored text.

To utilize a colored frame, you'll need to include the xcolor package, just like you did for colored text.

The command syntax for creating a colored frame is:

\fcolorbox{Frame Color}{Background Color}{Text for which the colored frame is desired}

Examples

Here's an example of text with a red frame around it:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\fcolorbox{red}{white}{Text with colored frame}
\end{document}

And here's an example of text with a red frame on a blue background:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\fcolorbox{red}{blue}{Text with colored frame}
\end{document}

If a background color other than white is chosen, it's advisable to adjust the text color as well to improve readability:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\fcolorbox{red}{blue}{\textcolor{white}{Text with colored frame}}
\end{document}

In this example, we've applied a white text color to ensure readability against a blue background.
