Font Colours?

[LeadFootLiam]

Where did the font colours go? I loved using them and made it easier to identify certain users. Like @Famine his colour was indigo.

I don't see the option to change the colour, is it gone?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

The code is still available; it's just not in the text editor options, so you'll have to type it manually now.

 

[TB]

Technically, no, it can still be done.

Just not by clicking on a color dropdown like you could before. You have to know the BB Code for it.

New anti-tree software and I still get tree'd!!!

 

[LeadFootLiam]

[COLOR-RoyalBlue]So what is the code? I never paid attention because there was always a button to click. @TB[COLOR]

[COLOR=color]Text[/COLOR]

 

[LeadFootLiam]

YAAAAAAAY @TB Thanks

 

[Sage Ages]

Anyone have a list of colors? I can't find Dark Red.

 

[TB]

@Custom878 - You can google BB Code color for a list.

EDIT: So we can't have hex codes

 

[Jordan]

@Jahgee1124 Hex codes should work as normal.

Found a Rainbow text generator, guess hex codes do work LOL

Amazing LOL

Do 3-digit hex codes like me and you'll be able to make any colour you like.

How do I do that?

 

[Small_Fryz]

It appears we can't use them in Signatures though, plus everytime I go to edit my sig it looses some of the BB codes such as size.

 

[TB]

@Small_Fryz - size, justification, color and, I believe, smilies are disabled in sigs. Keeps them looking a lot cleaner, in my opinion.

Nice sig, BTW.

How do I do that?

There's a great list available here. I think you just need to input the hex-value instead of the name of the color, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yeah, you only need the hex value. Thankfully, you need not do 6 digits. Having 6 just makes pinpoints a specific shade of whatever hue it is. Because it is only being used to pretty up your posts, you can make do with just 3 digits as it'll look close enough to what you want while typing out less.

If you're unfamiliar with hex digit, you're creating the colour with a combination of basic colours (red, green, blue). If you've ever messed around in a colour palette such as MS paint, you'll get this really quick. Value starts at 0, goes to 9, then A all the way to F in alphabetical order. 0 being black or "0% of that hue", F being white... Or "100% of that hue". Quick examples, #F00 is red, #0F0 is green, #00F is blue, #FF0 is yellow, #F0F is magenta, etc.. The format is literally the same as you see in "RGB". Mess around with editing an old post to find a colour you like.


@Custom878, a dark red would be something like #500. You can change that 5 to a larger digit if you want the red to be brighter. You can also make it a smaller number to make it darker.


So now you may be wondering how 3 digits work. When you do 3-digit, it will interpret it as the 6-digit. Right now, I'm using #525 (a mix of red, green and blue to get this pale purple), which is essentially a shortcut for #552255. #FA8 would be FFAA88. #09F would be #0099FF.

I also just discovered you don't need to close your colour tag, bold, italics, underline, font,etc. This software automatically detects unclosed tags and fixes that. Whoopie.

 

[Darren.]

I just realised that we don't have to type the BBCode to end the colour and/or bold. If you just post with "[color="COLOUR HERE] the software will automatically add the code to stop the colour. Neat.

Dammit AOS-, you just beat me to it!

Lots of neat colors there.

Testing...

edit: worked perfectly

Test.

Did you check your post in BB code yet?! Imagine typing that manually everytime.

I did, I saw the generator when I made it and it was very long LOL

 

[Nicksfix]

Edit, sorry. I'll come back to this later.

TEST

Got it now.

Testing

It worked for me to just type [color=#color]

In this case the color is F00 for red.

 

[Azure Flare]

You need the entire hex code for it to work.

[ color=#0047ab ]Text here[ /color ]

Just without the spaces

Does invisible paint work?

 

[Speedy6543]

Does invisible paint work?

Almost there.

But as soon as someone quotes your post, your little invisible game comes to an end.

 

[jimipitbull]

So close... Maybe your screen is at the wrong angle?
