I was using todonotes package with ieeeaccess.cls, and kept getting weird errors. So, I followed this guide to fix this issue.

This answer works fine, but it leaves some warnings like this:

Package xcolor Warning: Incompatible color definition on input line 163.
Package xcolor Warning: Incompatible color definition on input line 170.
Package xcolor Warning: Incompatible color definition on input line 178.
Package xcolor Warning: Incompatible color definition on input line 181.‬
Package xcolor Warning: Incompatible color definition on input line 1.
Package xcolor Warning: Incompatible color definition on input line 208.

I tried to use silence to suppress this warning, and it failed:

\WarningFilter{xcolor}{Package xcolor Warning: Incompatible color definition on input line}

My .tex is like:

\documentclass{ieeeaccess}

% packages
\usepackage[linesnumbered,ruled,vlined]{algorithm2e}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}
\usepackage{graphicx}

Is it because I've never included xcolor in my own .tex? How to suppress these warnings?

    you shouldn't silence warnings that you don't understand. Warnings typically mean that something is wrong. Reduce your example and then contact the authors of the class/the journal publisher and ask them if the warning is a problem and what to do about it. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 17 '22 at 07:20
  • @UlrikeFischer I did some research, the answer said it was "harmless". https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553204/incompatible-color-definition-warning-in-xcolor-package-using-ieeetrans-templa – TaihouKai Jun 17 '22 at 07:33

    there is no answer, only a comment. And it also says that if you are using spotcolors (which you do above) you shouldn't use tikz (which you do e.g. with todonotes). Remove the todonotes package and the warnings will probably disappear. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 17 '22 at 07:49
  • @UlrikeFischer Thank you for your explanation. Does this mean like I cannot get rid of it without removing todonotes? – TaihouKai Jun 17 '22 at 07:51
  • no idea, I never use the silence package. I either accept the warnings and ignore them or solve the root cause. In this case I think, if you want to produce something with spotcolors you should better avoid packages with tikz directly. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 17 '22 at 07:58

    Maybe similar to https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/599917/38080 ? – Rmano Jun 17 '22 at 21:59
