I guess it's been explained somewhere but some things are a bit hard to find. You do it like this.
[color=insert the colour you wish to have]your text[/color]

Hope this helps.

Look  inside this thread for some answers,  ok?

Also--Hit  QUOTE   inside  this post,  and you'll see  that I did the same thing that Susi  advised.  One thing to note--when you put the name of a color in the brackets,  sometimes they  won't work,  and then you'll have to use numbers. 

Here's a site   that  will list  bb code numbers  for colors.

Thank you SusiGo, Davina, and sherlockskitty for your help. I found what I needed, edited my signature, and am please with the results. Easy peasy when you have help and know what to do! Thanks again, ladies!

you're welcome,  and I  just LOVE  that blue color  you have--  what  name did you use for it?   Hitting quote won't help me;  the post  dosn't show your siggy  inside it.

Thanks! The blue color I used is called cornflower blue, but using the name won't work so you have to use the number for it -- the number is #6495ED. And then I put it in bold face type.

You're welcome sherlockskitty, no problem...
