cannot align text in a simple table
I can not simply align the text by using p{xxlinewidth} and color in the same tabular.
The result is very awful... a conflicting package problem ?
anyone who has an idea is welcome ;)
sample:
source:
documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{color}
begin{document}
begin{table}
begin{tabular}{p{0.2linewidth}p{0.2linewidth}p{0.2linewidth}}
A & color{red}{B} & C \
end{tabular}
end{table}
end{document}

Usetextcolor{red}{B}orleavevmodecolor{red}{B}. The problem is in invokingcolorwhile in vertical mode.

When you invoke a p column, you are in a parbox (or is it minipage?) that enters that column in vertical mode. Some commands act differently in vertical (page) mode than in horizontal (paragraph) mode. color is one of them. The way to remedy the issue is to either use textcolor which will leave vertical mode itself, or to explicitly leave vertical mode with a leavevmode. I show both methods below.
documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{color}
begin{document}
begin{table}
begin{tabular}{p{0.2linewidth}p{0.2linewidth}p{0.2linewidth}}
A & leavevmodecolor{red}B & C \
A & textcolor{red}{B} & C \
end{tabular}
end{table}
end{document}
Other macros that will suffer the same fate, and thus require a leavevmode to behave in the "expected" way, include llap, rlap, and (outside of tabular environments) marginpar.

@JcCrivello Note thatcolor{red}{B}of your MWE, while not wrong, gives an improper impression.color{}is a declaration, taking no additional arguments such as{B}. All text that follows is affected by the color change until the end of the current group. Thus, the syntax should becolor{} B. On the other handtextcolor{}{}is the macro that not only defines the color, but also the text to which to apply it.
