We have no key to the available text colors, so here are the distinct ones that I've been able to discover. The name at left goes within the opening COLOR tag.

Against blue background ...

Black: LegionWorld
Blue: LegionWorld
LightBlue: LegionWorld
Chartreuse: LegionWorld
Cyan: LegionWorld
Gold: LegionWorld
Green: LegionWorld
LightGreen: LegionWorld
Magenta: LegionWorld
Orange: LegionWorld
Pink: LegionWorld
Purple: LegionWorld
Red: LegionWorld
Silver: LegionWorld
Yellow: LegionWorld

Against gray background ...

Black: LegionWorld
Blue: LegionWorld
LightBlue: LegionWorld
Chartreuse: LegionWorld
Cyan: LegionWorld
Gold: LegionWorld
Green: LegionWorld
LightGreen: LegionWorld
Magenta: LegionWorld
Orange: LegionWorld
Pink: LegionWorld
Purple: LegionWorld
Red: LegionWorld
Silver: LegionWorld
Yellow: LegionWorld

Black, Blue, and Purple are nearly totally illegible against the two message backgrounds. Green is nearly as bad.

Please, friends, for the sake of everyone being able to read your text, try using the other colors!

Unless, of course, you want to click and drag to highlight the text. Then you'll be able to read it regardless of the color. Sorta like using a decoder ring [Smile]

My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I guess not wanting others to read what one writes always struck me as being too self-consciously cute for words ... literally. The typographer in me.

So, Blue would be a good color for spoilers

You can also use this chart from Web Monkey. Instead of the color name, just input the color code, minus the '#'.

Exactly! Next time you post a spoiler like Luke's father is [SPOILER]Darth Vader[/SPOILER]! It would make it easier on some of the faint at heart. [Smile]

Cool. I was hoping we could get something like that for spoilers.
