We show that the critical behavior of a colloid-polymer mixture inside a
random porous matrix of quenched hard spheres belongs to the universality class
of the random-field Ising model. We also demonstrate that random-field effects
in colloid-polymer mixtures are surprisingly strong. This makes these systems
attractive candidates to study random-field behavior experimentally.
