    If you want to make your texts in ''The shoutbox'' in color follow these instructions
    (Thanks to Ilir and _TANSSTAAFL):


    -First you press this button that will make change the color [​IMG]
    -Then you'll get this [color=] [/COLOR]
    -In between the the = and ] you type the color you want. So it will look like this:

    Code:
    [color=red]

    -If you did follow every step you only need to put you message between the [ and ] so it will be:

    Code:
    [color=red]message here in your color[/color]
    and it will show as this:



    This is your message in red!

    In code it looks like:

    Code:
    [color=red]This is your message in red![/color]

    _TANSTAAFL mentioned something about RGB colors. RGB colors are hexidecimal numbers and digits (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f) what also makes colors. You are able to get more exact colors then you normally get.

    Use this site to get an easy color in RBG code: color picker

    1. You will see a site like this:

    [​IMG]

    2. You can select the color you want and then COPY THIS CODE:

    [​IMG]

    3. Go to the forums and do

    [color=SELECTED CODE HERE]This text will be the color you picked.[/color]


    For me it should look something like this:

    This text will be the color you picked.








    If you look at my code it looks like:

    Code:
    [color=#34EBEB]This text will be the color you picked.[/color]




    Don't forget to include in the # infront of the code otherwise it won't work!



    Greetings,

    you can replace the color word with a color code too.

    Here is the format: #RRGGBB

    RR is the red part of the code
    GG is the green part of the code
    BB is the blue part of the code

    You replace the R, G or B with a hexadecimal digit. The hexidecimal digits are:

    0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f

    So an example code might look like this:

    #3faa08

    RR = 3f
    GG = aa
    BB = 08

    Basically, "00" is the code for no color and "ff" is the code for full color. all the values in between are different shades of that color.

    Some more examples:

    #000000 = black
    #ffffff = white
    #ff0000 = max red
    #00ff00 = max green
    #0000ff = max blue

    #ffff00 = probably a bright yellow
    #ff00ff = probably a bright purple
    #00ffff = probably a bright cyan?

    You don't have to use 0 and f so much, I was just trying to do a simple illustration.

    Here is how you would use it in practice:

    Code:
    [color=#ffffff]This text will appear white.[/color]
    [color=#ff0000]This text will appear red.[/color]
    P.S. the shoutbox background color is #1e1f20 for invisible text. However, it is annoying and I don't even know if it is allowed, so don't go crazy with it.

    I'm studying application development and this is what I understand, but a normal user of the computer doesn't understand this.

    To simplify the answer of _TANSTAAFL use this picker color picker

    EDIT: Updated the guide Thanks to you _TANSSTAAFL
