How to get text the EXACT color you want!

So you know there's only these 14 colors for you to choose from when you want text to be a different color. And that's a total bust when you wanted a soft pastel green for your siggy.



But that's not true! How, you ask? You just need the code of your specific color. To do that you need a color picker...



^Click the image above to go to the site. Drag the bars and stuff until you get the desired color. Then, look to the top to find the color's code...



Copy the code.

Alright you got your color's code! But what now? Use this forum code (E01B6A will be our example code):

Code:

[color=#E01B6A]EXAMPLE TEXT[/color]

That will get you: EXAMPLE TEXT

Basically, you put a # in front of the code and put it after the [color= . Then you put your own text between the square thingies where "EXAMPLE TEXT" is.

Code:

[color=#YOURCODE]EXAMPLE TEXT[/color]

Hope that was simple enough! Now you can enjoy millions of colors for your forum text!

This is a great tutorial--stickied! Nice work, Rufi! ^_^

this is so repetitive. my sister posted the same thing on BB codes the first one tells you.

Guys common don't give her credit. this is very good and all but there's already a topic for this and my sis made it too! It's called "BB/HTML codes" its the very first one!

Yeah okay that is totally not okay. It's rude to advertise a different topic on another topic. Plus, if you really wanted to advertise that topic, then just put it in your signature. Infraction given.

but this topic is a copy! it shouldnt be stickied.

@iSammy how is this a copy? Its just similar. Not a copy.


I think this is really nice and helpful. I bet lots of people are going to have colorful siggys now.

yeah but it serves the same purpose as her topic we dont need 2 topics about the same thing clogging the forum especially when my sis has way more needed info.

Stay on topic, plus that's rude. If you don't have anything nice or contributory to say, then don't post. Infraction given.

Thank you, this is really helpful.

It is not exactly a copy because:

•It is a different form of it, notice how Swimmer just shortly mentioned it. It's like having a Disney World brochure and having a Everest Coaster brochure with all the details of how the coaster was made.

•It has the eye grabbing title that attracts those who want more colorful text.


Thanks guys, I was a bit unsure about explaining the code. That's kind of hard to explain to someone who is new to forum coding.

thanks this will help me get the tardis blue color i wanted
