Colored Text?

[Rackonteur]

OK, another gripe and a question for help –

How do you do colored text? I tried to do it just now but it wouldn’t let me pick a color. And when I posted my comment it just said [color] but it was not in color.

Here you go:

@Simkie

How do I add color or change font size in my post?

To change the color of your text, click the paint palette icon at the top of the reply window:

This will insert the following text in your reply:

[color=#]Text[/color] 

(You can also just type the above code without clicking the paint palette icon.)

Change the # to the color you would like your text to be, and “Text” to the text you would like to be that color.

For example, this:

[color=red]This text is red[/color]

Gives you this:

This text is red

You can also use hex color codes , if you have a very specific color in mind.

[color=6110f0]This text is purple #6110f0[/color]

Gives you this:

This text is purple #6110f0

How do I change the # to a color? There are no colors to click on.

Lol let’s see if this is in colour

I had to turn my tablet to landscape, because there was no pallette to be seen in portrait

Nope

maybe now?

Oh yes

now I have it

Are you going to share how you did it? Or are you just going to lol and be smug and secretive?

Smug, oh yes…

Just delete the # and type in the color you want.

FYI, if you cannot see the palette (for example on your phone), you can:

1. Paste or type this into your post:

2. Delete the pound sign/hashtag.

3. Type the color or hex code you want the text to be.

4. Replace the word “Text” with the words you want to appear in color.

5. Post.

Thank you.
