I want to highly text which contains math in shades of grey with allowing for linebreaks. Based on this excellent post, I tried:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{xcolor}

usepackage{soul}

newcommand{mathcolorbox}[2]{colorbox{#1}{$displaystyle #2$}}

newcommand{hlfancy}[2]{sethlcolor{#1}hl{#2}}



begin{document}

This works: hlfancy{gray}{colored $a=b$ math}.  

This does not:  hlfancy{gray!60}{colored $a=b$ math}.  

end{document}

Here is a solution:

documentclass{article}

usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}

usepackage{soul}



newcommand{mathcolorbox}[2]{colorbox{#1}{$displaystyle #2$}}

newcommand{hlfancy}[2]{colorlet{hlcolor}{#1}sethlcolor{hlcolor}hl{#2}}



begin{document}



This works: hlfancy{gray}{colored $a=b$ math}.

This also works: hlfancy{gray!30!Lavender}{colored $a=b$ math}.
