A swatch thread - colours for fonts
As there is a growing interest in using colours for fonts within the forum, I thought we could compile a list of sites that have codes & colours that could be used.
Now, not all colours will suitable for the forum, so a test is a good idea otherwise people just won't bother reading your posts as it may hurt their eyes.
So please feel free to list pages with codes & post samples for everyone to look at & use or state that it's a hard colour to see.
(Might be best if we limit the chat in here so that things don't get confusing huh?) = ie PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC.

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Re: A swatch thread - colours for fonts
To use the colours simply select the code for whatever colour you want and paste it into the colour tag.
The colour tag is
[color=code goes here}TEXT GOES HERE[/color}
Now the tag has deliberately been typed WRONG by me because otherwise you will not see it in the post. The 2 brackets like this " } " should really be the lower case ones like this " ] "
If you "quote" this post you will see how it looks when I use a GOLD font
GOLD is #FFD700 code
