So I'm reawakening this topic after EXACTLY 10 years to test out colors with the new board software.
[color=rgb(255,0,0);]Red[/color]
[color=rgb(0,0,0);]Black[/color]
[color=rgb(0,0,143);]Dark Blue[/color]
[color=rgb(0,0,255);]Blue[/color]
[color=rgb(0,0,128);]Navy Blue[/color]
[color=rgb(173,216,230);]Light Blue[/color]
[color=rgb(0,255,255);]Aqua[/color]
[color=rgb(64,224,208);]Turquoise[/color]
[color=rgb(0,128,128);]Teal[/color]
[color=rgb(0,255,204);]Light Green[/color]
[color=rgb(0,128,0);]Green[/color]
[color=rgb(0,100,0);]Dark Green[/color]
[color=rgb(153,255,51);]Yellow Green[/color]
[color=rgb(0,255,0);]Lime Green[/color]
[color=rgb(102,204,102);]Chartreuse[/color]
[color=rgb(255,255,0);]Yellow[/color]
[color=rgb(255,215,0);]Gold[/color]
[color=rgb(192,192,192);]Silver[/color]
[color=rgb(128,128,128);]Gray[/color]
[color=rgb(128,0,0);]Maroon[/color]
[color=rgb(153,0,0);]Dark Red[/color]
[color=rgb(165,42,42);]Brown[/color]
[color=rgb(255,204,255);]Pink[/color]
[color=rgb(255,51,153);]Magenta[/color]
[color=rgb(255,0,255);]Fuchsia[/color]
[color=rgb(128,0,128);]Purple[/color]
[color=rgb(221,160,221);]Plum[/color]
[color=rgb(75,0,130);]Indigo[/color]
[color=rgb(238,130,238);]Violet[/color]
The above were all initially achieved manually with the color tags. On the first attempt everything worked fine. On subsequent edits of the post not changing the colors, some of the colors lost their coding and show up as black. One can re-edit the codes in again, but the board drops some of them. It does work right if I edit in the hexadecimal codes for each color (for example #0000ff for blue), but few people are going to memorize those codes.
The text color button in the tools has a palate of frequently used colors, and if you click "more colors" you get a much larger palate with more colors than you would figure out what to do with. Keep in mind that on our white background, most of the lighter colors won't show up very well, and neither will the color White.
Seems to me we have to go with the color palates.
