[HOW TO] Use unique text colors on your posts!

Hello!

Have you ever wanted a color text, that WI doesn't have?
There's a way to get it!

_______________________

STEP 1: pick a color, using one of the following sources.

This picture:

(found it on a site, but took a screenshot because it had an inappropriate ad)

or, this site.
Color Picker: Hexadecimal color code generator
or:
http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm

STEP 2: Now take a look back at the color you picked. There's a number/letter combo, and or a name., depending on which site you used.

Let's say I want to use slate blue from source 2.
(on the chart, letter/number combo is right there. On the website, look to the left of the color, and where it says "test". DO NOT COPY THE NUMBER SIGN, just the num/letter combo.)
For source 3, the code is the middle column on the chart, to the left of the color bar with the name.

Now I make brackets, with the number letter combo OR the color name. NOT BOTH! (remember, no spaces)

Example.
[color=slateblue.] A B C [/color.]
[color=6A5ACD.] A B C [/COLOR.]

(Without the periods)

You will get the same result, either way.

That's it! Easy as pie!
