Shayan Shaffey Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, (I will constantly update this post to put new colors in the list) You might have notices the menu for color tags in BB code which includes: blue, red, Purple, orange, Yellow, gray and green ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But those aren't the only colors. There are many more, before we get to the list, I wanted to show you how it works: The Bulletin Board Code (BBCode) Color tag is used to change the color of the text contained within its tags. i.e. [color=insert color name here]Insert text here[/color] . So here is a list of some of the valid colors: AliceBlue, antiquewhite, aqua, aquamarine, azure, Beige, Bisque, Black, BlanchedAlmond, BlueViolet, Brown, CadetBlue, Chartreuse, Cornsilk, Fuchsia, Gold, mintycream, Thisle, Teal, Tan, orangered, DarkKhaki, Cyan, DarkCyan, Coral, Cornflowerblue, DarkGoldenRod, Darkred, DarkSalmon, LightSalmon, MediumSeaGreen, Plum, PowderBlue, RoyalBlue, OliveDrab, Olive, Sienna, Tomato, Turquoise, yellowgreen, novajowhite, gainsboro, SteelBlue, SpringGreen, Silver, SandyBrown, FireBrick, DodgerBlue, DimGrey, SkyBlue, DeepSkyBlue, DarkSlateBlue, DarkSlateGray, GreenYellow, DarkOrange, PeachPuff, PapayaWhip, DimGrey, PaleGoldenRod, PaleVioletRed, PaleGreen, MistyRose, Moccasin, BurlyWood, Chocolate, Lime, MidnightBlue, Navy, MediumBlue, MediumOrchid, MediumPurple, MediumSeaGreen, MediumSlateBlue, MediumSpringGreen . (some of the colors may appear like white, but if you look closer you will see the difference. Some of the colors match the background color, to see their text highlight it.) Hexadecimal Color Codes (AKA Hex Codes): Many people like using these instead of the method I posted above. <ColorName=#HexCode> (I'll try to list these in alphabetical order, but because I'm not good at it please forgive me if there are any mistakes): #F0F8FF #FAEBD7 #00FFFF #7FFFD4 #F0FFFF #F5F5DC #FFE4C4 #000000 #FFEBCD #0000FF #8A2BE2 #A52A2A #DEB887 #5F9EA0 #7FFF00 #D2691E #FF7F50 #6495ED #9932CC #8B0000 #E9967A #8FBC8F #483D8B #2F4F4F #2F4F4F #00CED1 #9400D3 #FF1493 #1E90FF #B22222 #FFFAF0 #228B22 #FF00FF #DCDCDC #F8F8FF #FFD700 #DAA520 #808080 #FFF0F5 #7CFC00 #FFFACD #ADD8E6 #F08080 #E0FFFF #FAFAD2 #D3D3D3 #90EE90 #FFB6C1 #FFA07A #20B2AA #87CEFA #778899 #778899 #B0C4DE #FFFFE0 #00FF00 #48D1CC #C71585 #191970 #F5FFFA #FFE4E1 #FFE4B5 #FFDEAD #000080 #FDF5E6 #808000 #6B8E23 #FFA500 #FF4500 #DA70D6 #EEE8A8 #98FB98 #AFEEEE #D87093 #FFEFD5 #FFDAB9 #2E8B57 #FFF5EE #A0522D #C0C0C0 #87CEEB #6A5ACD #708090 #708090 #FFFAFA #00FF7F #4682B42 #D2B48C #008080 #D8BFD8 #FF6347 #40E0D0 #EE82EE #F5DEB3 #FFFFFF #F5F5F5 #FFFF00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading this guide I hope you liked it. If you have any feedback, good or bad, post it! This was alot of hard work, which made my back hurt. But in the end it was worth it, enjoy! ( I need a massage, ow) Oh, and you might wonder how I changed the "Edited By" line, here's how you can do it: [color=red][s][color=white] [table][/s][/color][/table][/color] You can replace red with any color and the "strikethrough" tag with a "spoiler" tag.
