Nice job man. Thanks 
Wow, thank you.
I've had an HTML color website bookmarked since the boards first opened so I could use that as a semi-easy way of getting colors when needed.
With this bookmarked, this is MUCH easier to use

Short list of colors that work well both on the CoH an CoV skin.
While it's nice to have a comprehensive list of possible colors, it is not nice, in my opinion, to use all of them on the forums. One thing to keep in mind is that while some colors look good in the villain forums against the dark maroon background, they don't look good on the heroes forum against the blue background, and vice versa.
I used the following criteria to whittle down the colors:
1. Nix the ones too hard to read, either because the text was too light or too close in color.
2. Nix the ones with high color contrast: Certain colors 'swim' against the background of other colors. Usually intense hues opposite each other on the color wheel.
3. When two usuable colors were virtually identical to each other, I nixed the one that had the longer or odder name in favor of the one with the shorter, more common name.
4. While some colors were readable when bolded, they weren't so much when in normal font. I kept only the ones that were still readable in normal font.
5. While some of the ones remaining still don't look that good, I wound up keeping them because they represent the last of their color palette. Needless to say, keeping a dark maroon and blue background in consideration, a lot of the blues and reds got cut. I tried to save some that were still passable.
Thanks to Golden Ace for the original list.

Does this also work with the chat enter bind? I cant remember the bind so can someone please post it?
cool stuff GA, maybe i'll use it one day. more than likely though, my inability to do something simplistic like that will fail as always.

Hmmm, I used to have a program that would do this in character bio text back when we could use HTML codes in them. Pretty fun, though you had to cut your bio's length way down. Board syntax is a tad different but a tweak here and a tweak there and we get (quoting the current test server patch notes).....
Mission Dropping Feature
You will now be able to drop missions that you receive from Contacts. Dropping a mission will carry with it everything that completing the mission successfully does. It will advance story arcs, improve Contact XP, grant special powers, give Mission Complete XP, etc. You will not be able to replay the mission you dropped. This is done this way so that you are not stuck on a Story Arc, or are missing a vital Temp Power needed later on in the mission chain, etc.
In order to drop a mission, you must be the mission owner, and you can talk to the Contact that gave you the mission. If the mission is droppable, an option to drop it will appear.
There are a few caveats to the Mission Dropping Feature:
You can only drop one mission every 7 days with this feature. If you need to clear a mission, but have already used this feature in the past 7 days, you will need to contact Customer Support as normal.
You can not drop timed missions.
You can not drop missions that are part of a Task or Strike Force.
You can not drop missions that give badges as Mission Completion rewards.
Some other missions are marked as undroppable. These are missions that have rewards that are well above average.
You will not be given the choice at all to drop missions that are undroppable. You will need to contact Customer Support in order to clear these missions.
If you are on a team with someone who drops a mission, you will receive no rewards for the mission.
Missions that are dropped are logged so we can more easily debug bugged missions.
Powers
Fixed an issue with Moment of Glory which caused the Icon to blink after the power's Buff period had ended.
The Gladiator version of the Malta Hercules Titan will no longer combine into a Zeus Titan if two are present.
Ring of Fire and Fire Cages both have had a -Fly component added.
The Teleport reticle now displays properly on Teleport powers with range enhancements.
Pets made up entirely of f/x (like Tornado or Voltaic Sentinel) now display properly.
Hehehe, fun. Pointless and silly, but fun.
That's awesome Zloth.

Why yes, yes I am. A peacock I know told me its a good way to attract mates.
To do it like Golden Ace just did you simply put a color in for each and every letter. Or quote somebody who already did it and replace their letters with your letters. See Golden_Ace's original post for details on the colors.
Mine's the same deal, except for lazy people. I've got a little program where I plug in the text I want to post, give it a start color, an end color, and tell it to go. It figures all the colors 'between' the two colors I give then sticks color codes in every few words so it slowly progresses from one color to the next.
If you want to see the color codes being used just hit the Quote link for the post. No need to submit the post, just quote it and look to see what you get.
Oh, I did notice (when the program wasn't working right) that you can nest the color commands. Also, if you don't close off all your color commands it bleeds into the signature like [color=green]so...
lol. cool Do you have a link to the program or the name of it?

Huh? Name? Link? Errrrr..... <ahem> Why yes! Of course it has a name! BoardColor!
You can get it here: http://home.kc.rr.com/dasloth/CoH/BoardColor.exe
You'll need to have Microsoft's Framework 1.1 to run it, same as my DemoLauncher.
The program is shareware. If you enjoy this product, you need to make it so the Chiefs beat the Broncos today.

The following is a list of all the known colors used in the forums along with their corresponding color code.
You can either write in the color you want to use or you can put in the code with a # in front of it.
Example: [ color:gold] or [ color:#FFD700]
in some cases it might be simpler to use the code rather than the name because of the length.
Example: [ color:mediumspringgreen] or [ color:#00FA9A]
The first two below are the hero and villain background colors, with them you can type hidden messages.
Have fun
