Color Guide

So, as some of you may have noticed, our dropdown list has rather limited colors to choose from. So, I'm posting a list for your reference, of all the colors I know of that you can use. We can't actually add these to the list, and so you'll be stuck doing these manually, but I think it's worth it.

First in the list there'll be the color's name, and then what the color looks like. To use that color in your posts, just use the following code around the text you want colored:

Code:

[color=?]Your text goes here.[/color]

In place of the question mark, though, use the name of the color. For example, let's say you want to use the color green. It'd look like this.

Code:

[color=green]Your text goes here.[/color]

Your text goes here.

See, isn't that easy? So, anyway, here's that list. And if you know the hexadecimal code to a color instead of the name, for example #FFFFFF, you can put that in place of the color name, I think. I'm not really sure if it works for Forumotion, but you can try it!! xD

Thanks so much, Shadz, for this handy dandy little guide. xD I love all of the colors you came up with. Sometimes I will try to make a color like lets say "Apple" but it came out as this dark purple. xD

No prob, Merry! Lol, yeah, that's happened to me too. xD Especially when I make typos. But I pretty much just memorized the names of all the colors off the vBulletin list, so yah, at least I didn't spend hours and hours figuring these out.

Awesome, Shadz. Thankie.

Awesome Shadow!! Thanks so much, that plum is so pretty

There's Lavender too, but it doesn't show up on this site's background. It's almost invisible!!!!

>>>This text is hard to read.<<<

There are words between those arrows. If you highlight them with your mouse you can read them...

Welcome, Jade and Ratty!

Holy crap, that's . . . that's messed up, Aki!! xD Lol, well, I'mma adding it anyway.

There's also sky blue. It's different from deepskyblue.

yellowgreen
forestgreen
gold
sandybrown
sienna
lightblue

I tested a bunch of colors and came up with all of these!

lightpink (I don't know if there's any difference between this and just pink, but the code worked )
lightgreen
lightyellow

wow, this is fun! can I be the (un)official color-finder?

Man, Aki, you're awesome. I'mma giving you rep for all that. And that'd be sweeeet! x3

yay!!!!

To get all these, i looked through the names of the color choices on Lunapic.com. hehe. theres a lot!

honeygarlic

I wonder if it worked.. XDD

You can tell if it worked by clicking "preview" instead of send that's what I do.

Three days grace

That actually made a color. o.O

System Of A Down and that too... o.O

Really? I don't see them as colors.. just black....

passion

I made one up! xD

Whoa, thanks, Aki. Haha, I'll have to add those later, though. Cus I've gotta get off. xD

you're welcome ^_^

That's just screwed up. I wrote Honey Garlic, and it turned blue. XD

Lol, no matter what you type in, it always comes out as a color. xD

The problem is actually finding a color that works, as opposed to it not working so just switching somehow to the nearest "matching" color. xD

Iz you gonna add all the new colors Shad? The ones on the last few pages?
