You can also specify a color if you know the hex code for that color. Just insert a # and then the 6-character hex code. A wonderful hex color chart can be found here.

If anyone knows the exact hex codes that correspond to each color above, please tell me, so I can add it to the chart. And if there are other colors that work as BBCode text, tell me so they can be added as well. Thanks.

Can you change the background color in BBCode as well, or just the foreground color?

[spinello]

Aloha Chad Cloman

Only background color:
(background=blue)Spinellozone(/background)
done with [] instead of ()
yields
SpinelloZone


Background color & text color:
(background=black)(color=darkgreen)SpinelloZone(/color)(/background)
done with [] instead of ()
yields
SpinelloZone

Peace

Thanks for providing that information, especially to that new chart and the code for background color. I especially like cornflowerblue #6495ED. That is a nice background color but a bit too light for text, except on a dark background.

Aloha & your welcome Seamaiden

I was happy to share the links I use for colors names.

The background color code is neat, but can be annoying as well, lol.

Peace
