You're better off using hex - #DC143C

But that only works if HTML is enabled, correct?

I was talking about using colors in the admin area in admin config colors. I don't know of a way to include hex in a forum post.

You have to modify 2 files. Just repeat the added line for any color you want to include.
"inc_func_common.asp"

Code:


Look for the following lines (appx 403-419):

			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""red"">", "</font id=""red"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""green"">", "</font id=""green"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""blue"">", "</font id=""blue"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""white"">", "</font id=""white"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""purple"">", "</font id=""purple"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""yellow"">", "</font id=""yellow"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""violet"">", "</font id=""violet"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""brown"">", "</font id=""brown"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""black"">", "</font id=""black"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""pink"">", "</font id=""pink"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""orange"">", "</font id=""orange"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""gold"">", "</font id=""gold"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "[beige]", "[/beige]", "<font color=""beige"">", "</font id=""beige"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""teal"">", "</font id=""teal"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""navy"">", "</font id=""navy"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""maroon"">", "</font id=""maroon"">")
			fString = doCode(fString, "", "", "<font color=""limegreen"">", "</font id=""limegreen"">")

Below those, insert the following:


			fString = doCode(fString, "[crimson]", "[/crimson]", "<font color=""crimson"">", "</font id=""crimson"">")

"inc_post_buttons.asp"

Code:


Look for the following lines (appx 75-88):

		"                	<option style=""color:black"" value=""black"">Black</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:red"" value=""red"">Red</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:yellow"" value=""yellow"">Yellow</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:pink"" value=""pink"">Pink</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:green"" value=""green"">Green</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:orange"" value=""orange"">Orange</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:purple"" value=""purple"">Purple</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:blue"" value=""blue"">Blue</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:beige"" value=""beige"">Beige</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:brown"" value=""brown"">Brown</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:teal"" value=""teal"">Teal</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:navy"" value=""navy"">Navy</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:maroon"" value=""maroon"">Maroon</option>" & vbNewLine & _
		"                	<option style=""color:limegreen"" value=""limegreen"">LimeGreen</option>" & vbNewLine & _

Below those, insert the following:


		"                	<option style=""color:crimson"" value=""crimson"">Crimson</option>" & vbNewLine & _

I'm about to begin this add-on with the colors and I have a question, if there's anyone out there.

Okay, when you're in 'reply to topic' and you click on the little drop-down arrow to choose a color. . .is there a way I could make just that small amount of background a different color? Maybe a gray or something that would just make the colors show up a little better? Just the area behind the colors. . .

You could probably do it with a little CSS, but it would be hard to find a colour that doesn't make one or more of the names hard to read. That's one of the problems with putting the colour name in it's colour.

I played around with admin_config_colors.asp the other day and thought I had found a way of doing this, but alas my efforts were in vain!

Just a FYI with the image above. Near the bottom of that is actually a graphic I created to make it CLEAR to the members just where they needed to click in order to upload a pic. That's just another reason why it bugs me that I can't figure out how to change the background of the little color drop-down menu! I can usually do this!! (lol)

My members are loving the additional colors for fonts.
I have one more question though.

When you start to select a color for your font. . .after you click on the drop-down arrow and see the list of colors, three colors I've added won't display the actual color in that area. Meaning, the word "Red" is colored red, the word "Blue" is colored blue, etc. These three colors below are not colored.
Seagreen
Light Seagreen
Medium Violet Red

However; those colors display fine in a post when used.
Did I mess up somewhere? I normally use Firefox but I've just now used IE to check this out to see if it's just a browser issue, but IE does the same.

You left the word color: off in front of those three colors. It's fixed.
