+% \definecolor from xcolor/color to handle the options.

+% MEMO: xcolor \fcolorbox coloured boxes render better in some PDF viewers
+% than with color package \fcolorbox.  Since 1.6.3, Sphinx uses only its own
+% custom variant of \fcolorbox when handling verbatim code.  Currently (last
+% checked at 5.0.0) \fcolorbox is used for admonitions (sphinxheavybox)
+% and appears also in Pygmentize output mark-up.
