TGV ticket printout - silly question
I bought a TGV train ticket, Amsterdam to Paris. I chose the print at home option. Payment went through. Following the links I downloaded the ticket as a pdf file.
Now, my possibly silly question is: Do I need to print it in full color, like it is on the pdf file, or will it be ok in black? I don't have a color printer and don't want to buy one either. I could probably go to an Internet cafe and pay for a color printout if it's really neccessary. Is it?

Thank you for the answer Christina. I was feeling a bit silly, but thought it would be best to ask before I got to the train platform (well, it's three months left, sigh) with a printout that wouldn't be accepted.

Although you didn't ask, here is another answer which took me a little while to sort out. These print-out tickets do not have to be validated like regular tickets, which must be punched in a machine at the entrance to the platform. Just find your seat and be prepared to show the ticket to the attendant for a scan. You are supposed to have your passport ready as photo ID but it isn't always checked.
