How do you post in different colors?

I swear I saw a guide to it somewhere, but I can't for the life of me, find it. Can anyone point me to a guide on posting in colors other than that standard red blue and green? Any chance that might be added to the New GP Member Guide or FAQ as well?

I believe you can substitute a color in the BB tags. There may be a list somewhere of acceptable colors.

[ color = "purple" ] Purple [ /color ]

becomes

Purple

I tried Yellow and Gold, too.

• Purple
• Green
• Yellow
• Aqua
• Blue
• Gray
• Brown
• Magenta
• Orange

Okay, I kind of sussed that part out, I don't suppose there's a list of colors by chance?

Testing Teal

Most of these should work: colors

Okay, thanks for the help all! If there is a comprehensive list though, please let me know!

And then McDunno had to come along and be helpful rendering my previous post redundant. Sheesh. :-P

Just click on the link I provided or google "html colors"

Crossover chatter!

There is such a list inside the Giude to BBcode.
Underneath dark mode automatic color adjustment. Because colors look different in dark mode.

If you input a color that isn't on the drop-down is there away for it to be placed on/remembered by the drop-down for future use? It'd be a pain to keep inputting a color that isn't on the main drop-down list.

Unfortunately no. In one game where I keep using the same colors regularly, I just saved the code for it on my sheet. You could even do it with snippets/abilities for easy pasting

testing no color

After no colour? Try transparent.

BBCode:

After no colour? Try [color=transparent]transparent[/color].

Testing transparent see below

Will kids understand this transparent means something different nowadays.LOL

Yep, that works

If you quote it, you can read it.
