List of colors?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Is there a list of the colors that may be used to inhance our type? I know of: red, blue, orange, green, yellow, purple, and gold. How about light or baby blue? I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything but may not have known what to look under.

How about violet?
(Well, I see that works!)

The second list is even BETTER!

[zippy-kat]

Quite the purr-fectionist huh, Paul?

Thanks for the list!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Our Dad wuntz ta knowe...


"Do ALL them lil starrey dotz look differnt to youze guyz??!!"

Dad sez an awful lotta them look the same to him!

Course he duzit admit it to ebberbuddie ~
But he'z Red/Green Color Blind!

We havta kinda *squint* ta read summa the posts that use the *odd* colorz!

[Karen]

They all look different to me. Some of the very light colors, like ivory are very difficult to see, especially at "normal" size, but hey, Ivory is supposed to be almost white, anyway!

Cornflower blue is a pretty one ...

[Rottie]

Wow, that was quite a lengthy list, Paul. I didn't know there were that many colors

So, how long did that take you?

[sammi]

Phred, How do you post in color and enlarge at the same time? (also bold etc.) Thanks!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Sammi & Ebberbuddie ~

Here's the steps *I* use to do multiple modifications of text:

1) From the Left Column ~ Select [x]Enhanced Mode under the vB Code Header

2) Then, to the Right in the "Controls" Box ~ select ALL the features you want to modify the text with - Click em off one right after the other. As each is selected, it's opening bracketed code will appear where the cursor is in your text.

The "Line Up" of opening codes can look something like this...

[ B][ I][ U][ SIZE=6][ FONT=century gothic][ COLOR=firebrick]THEN YOU TYPE YOUR TEXT...

Now to CLOSE or end the modifiers - sometimes this gets *tricky*!
TRY using the "Close ALL Tags [X] Clicker at the Far Right of the modifier code box - if it works correctly - it will lay down all the closing codes in brackets in reverse order to how you first activated them... Like this:

your text[ /COLOR][ /FONT][ /SIZE][ /U][ /I][ /B]

Now IF the 'close all tags' clicker does NOT work (nuffin happens!) - you'll need to manually insert the closing codes yourself:

Do it in the REVERSE ORDER that you started the modifiers in = First turned ON is the LAST turned OFF... Bold was first on & Color was last on; so Color is first off & bold is last off.

Then hit the "Preview Reply" clicker to "see" what you've done (or screwed up ) so that you can correct any *goofs* .

You can edit and preview forever till you're happy with the results.

Example: (NOTE! Extra SPACE has been inserted after each forward bracket [ to prevent the system from acting on the codes and let you see them!!

[ B][ I][ U][ SIZE=6][ FONT=century gothic][ COLOR=firebrick]Test Text[ /COLOR][ /FONT][ /SIZE][ /U][ /I][ /B]

Will display like this:

TestText

Thats = to Bold, Italic, Underlined, Size = 6(bigger than 'Huge'), Font = century gothic, and Color = firebrick.

Best advice is to EXPERIMENT and Preview before you hit the "submit Reply box! Have Phunn!

Oh yeah ~ Final CAUTION:
WATCH where the cursor is after each code is selected - the BBS software has the BAD habit of returning the Cursor to the TOP of the message block every time you select a feature - YOU have to remember to scroll it back down to where you were OR you'll start to overwrite your stuff at the top! Grrrrrr... !

LOL LOL I was wondering the same thing!!!
Who would have thought we had such a long list of colors to use!! How neat is that??!!
Thanks for the colorful list!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

WOW! I'm getting smarter than I thought possible!
See, you can teach an old dog new tricks!

[sammi]

Thank you Phred! It WORK'S ...........................[/COLOR]

[Randi]

It sure does! But how do I make each letter a different color? Like Chuck did. Do I put the tag in front of each letter and then the end tag after? Thats a lot of work, so I guess there's a simpler way!
