[Announcement] BetterMost Color Expansion Project!
Phillip Dampier:
BetterMost Color Expansion Project
To help you better express yourself in color, we are pleased to announce that we've greatly expanded the number and range of colors you can use in your messages. Using color is easy. You can use the Change Color option found in the message editor for a limited selection of font colors, or you can use any of these colors found in the chart below. Simply use the color= command inside of the body of your message, in this format:
--- Code: ---[color=CadetBlue]
--- End code ---
This would present the text of your message in the CadetBlue color. You can change color at any time simply by re-using the color= command.
Obviously, not every font color is going to be a good choice when contrasted with the color scheme we use here at BetterMost. Most of these will be apparent right away in the chart below because they will be hard, if not impossible, to read. In those cases, you will see the name of the color in (parenthesis) after the name rendered in its respective color.

Non-Standard Colors
There are several colors which cannot be used by name alone, as the forum software will not recognize them. But you can still use them by entering the corresponding Hex code, shown as #xxxxxx. Here is an example of how to choose the Cornflower Blue color:
--- Code: ---[color=#6495ED]
--- End code ---
As above, certain colors will be difficult to read because they conflict with our own color scheme. The name and corresponding Hex code is reflected in black after the display of the name in its respective color.
Blanched Almond (Blanched Almond) color=#FFEBCD
Cornflower Blue color=#6495ED
Dark GoldenRod color=#B8860B
Dark OliveGreen color=#55662F
