Anyone who's fooled with the color panel knows that the following colors are available for text on these boards: skyblue, royalblue, blue, darkblue, orange, orangered, crimson, red, firebrick, darkred, green, limegreen, seagreen, deeppink, tomato, coral, purple, indigo, burlywood, sandybrown, sienna, chocolate, teal, silver..
But, with a little trial and error, I came up with the following that work as well:
[color=sandy brown]sandy brown[/color]
violet
darkviolet
deepviolet
[color=deep pink]deep pink[/color]
pink
greenyellow
maroon
redorange
gold
yellowgreen
yellow
[color=royal blue]royal blue[/color]
[color=sky blue]sky blue[/color]
lightblue
Ones that DON'T work:
[color=light blue]light blue[/color]
[color=dark blue]dark blue[/color]
[color=orange red]orange red[/color]
[color=red orange]red orange[/color]
[color=fire brick]fire brick[/color]
[color=dark red]dark red[/color]
[color=lime green]lime green[/color]
[color=sea green]sea green[/color]
[color=dark violet]dark violet[/color]
[color=deep violet]deep violet[/color]
If anyone finds anymore, let me know. I can't find a definitive listing anywhere!

I am aware of this, Chako.

For those who know HTML and/or familiar with the RGB/HEX codes for colors, you can use them in conjunction with the [color] tags ... for example, #FFFFCC can be translated as color=FFFFCC, or a color like this one ... or maybe #56E956, which can be used like this

This ones better Shal. It has names for the colors.
Some of those color names are just plain silly though.

You tried a color called fire brick? Like everyone allready said, you must have been bored
Posted by: Shalome
Well, one of the "normal" colors you can use in the VB control panel is "firebrick." I noticed that putting a space between the words made a difference like the difference between skyblue and [color=sky blue]sky blue[/color]. SO, I thought maybe firebrick and fire brick would be different slightly different too -- but nope, it doesn't quite work like that.
And hell yeah, I'm bored. My buddy and I declared this weekend "no lights on in office nightmare on elm street 1 through 7 fest." So far, 2 and 4 have been awful.
