I did this once on one of the CEI boards to demonstrate the difference between 'what can be read well on a black background' and 'what really fucking can't'.

This is a list of colour-names that you can use in the {FONT COLOR="colourname"} tags. This way, you don't have to try to remember a string of numbers and letters like some of us seem to be able to [I'll never figure it out. I just fuck around until I get it right. I have only a few memorised]. You can just pick a colour-name and use it. Or did I already say that?

A couple of notes on which colours the regulars generally use. I use teal when I'm replying to things [and usually with a font face of Verdana, if I'm feeling really energetic], Gremlin uses red, Jurassosaur uses...I think it's green. I can't remember if anyone else has a set 'typical' colour.

Anyway, these should help you.
