Colors

[Radaghast]

I have looked and looked, but I can't find any lists of colors that you can use with the [color] command.

The only one I [i]have[/i] found is in the posting FAQ, which is [color=red]red[/color].



Is there such a list? If not, can one be made?

I didn't check all 573 threads in this forum for one. Trust me, you don't want to try.



The only reason I am asking this is I don't want to waste time trying to find the right shade of blue. Or whatever color I want.

When you post, there is that "vB Code" section just above the text area, in there, you are supposed to have a "COLOR" drop-down list with all the standard colors. ;)

Although I've never actually tried it, I'm fairly sure you can use all the colors you could use in HTML.

[color=#707875]When the new myOtaku features go up (changing your styles and so on), we'll also be linking to a full colour list. However, I'm not sure if all that stuff is up yet or what.

However, it's also worth reminding you that HTML colours can be used. If you have a program like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, you can actually choose a colour and you can check its HTML value.

These colours can also be used on OtakuBoards with vB code.

So for instance, you could use a colour code like this for your posts: [/color][*color=#778995][/color][color=#707875], sans the "*".

I don't even know what colour that makes, but it's just an example of the six digit colour code system. So, I recommend playing around with actual HTML code colours as well. You can pretty much create any colour you want for your text, especially if you have image software that will tell you the code for the selected colour.[/color]

[size=1][b]Thank you Circeus. I guess I just needed to look around at the options when I post.

And James, I anxiously look forward to the new version.





Actually, I had never posted by using clicking the "New Reply" link, just the little text-box at the bottom. That's what I get for being not being accumstomed to the interface.[/b][/size]
