Color HTML Codes

To do color you will be using HTML font tags. The start tag will be <font> and the end tag is </font>. You can use font tags to do other things besides color, as you will learn later. There are several ways to indicate color in these font tags, but I will give you only two, color name and hexadecimal.

Color Name

The general way to use color in the font tag is

<font color=colorname>Text to be colored</font>

Where colorname is the name of the color (ie. white, black, blue)

EXAMPLES:

Use the code <font color=White>TEXT</font> and you get: TEXT

Use the code <font color=Red>TEXT</font> and you get: TEXT

Use the code <font color=Fuschia>TEXT</font> and you get: TEXT

Hexadecimal

You use the Hexadecimal codes the same way, except you put in the color codes instead of the color name. You have many many more color options with Hexadecimal. The basic form is:

<font color=#XXXXXX>Text to be colored</font>

Where the X's are the numbers or letters of the hexadecimal code. The numbers range from 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

EXAMPLES:

Use the code <font color=#0000FF>TEXT</font> and you get: TEXT

Use the code <font color=#00FF00>TEXT</font> and you get: TEXT

Use the code <font color=#FFC0C0>TEXT</font> and you get: TEXT

Uses of Colors
Most people use color in their chat names, but you can use it in post too. If you want to come in with your name blue then you would use the code:

<font color=blue>Chat Name</font> or <font color=#0000FF>Chat Name</font>

If you want your text the color of your name too, then just simply leave off the end tag:

<font color=blue>Chat Name

If you would like to have your text a different color than your name, then add a new start tag after the code of your name:

<font color=blue>Chat Name</font><font color=red>
