Ben,
thank you very much again, though I have said it many times.
I know how to deal with it now.
Best regards,
Rose

If you want to use the same color for each label, you can use
-varlabels(, prefix())- (documented in -help estout-). Example:
sysuse auto, clear
reg price weight mpg
local colortbl "{\colortbl;\red255\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue255;}"
esttab using test.rtf, replace ///
title(`colortbl'Table 1: blah) ///
varlabels(, prefix(\cf1)) ///
cells(b(par("\cf1 " "")) t(par("\cf2 (" ")")))
If you need different colors, then the easiest way is to insert the
color commands into the labels beforehand. Example:
label variable weight "\cf1 `: variable label weight'"
label variable mpg "\cf2 `: variable label mpg'"
local colortbl "{\colortbl;\red255\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue255;}"
esttab using test.rtf, replace ///
title(`colortbl'Table 1: blah) ///
label ///
cells(b(par("\cf1 " "")) t(par("\cf2 (" ")")))
Note, however, that this permanently changes the labels.
Alternatively, you could also use constructs such as "\cf1 `:
variable label weight'" within -coeflabels()-. Example:
sysuse auto, clear
reg price weight mpg
local colortbl "{\colortbl;\red255\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue255;}"
esttab using test.rtf, replace ///
title(`colortbl'Table 1: blah) ///
coeflabels(weight "\cf1 `: variable label weight'" ///
mpg "\cf2 `: variable label mpg'") ///
cells(b(par("\cf1 " "")) t(par("\cf2 (" ")")))
However, I think the approach with manipulating the labels beforehand
is more elegant. You could for example define list of variables and
then use loops etc. such as
local redlist "v1 v2 v3"
local bluelist "v4 v5 v6"
foreach var of local redlist {
label variable `var' "\cf1 `: variable label `var''"
}
foreach var of local bluelist {
label variable `var' "\cf2 `: variable label `var''"
}
