Title: color test

Patti

okay...why can't one just put in the RGB code, instead of color name?

Code: [Select]

[48D1CC]test[/48D1CC]
[color=mediumturquoise]test[/color]
Does this help you see what's missing?  (Hint:  All codes need an attribute.)

I had totally forgotten about that one Midnite, thanks.

But...duh...what attribute am I missing (okay, that one was WAAAYY too easy). What attribute is my CODE missing?  ;)

[color=48D1CC]test[/color]

[size=8][color=48d1cc]COOOOOOLLLL!!![/color][/size]

But, of course it's substantially easier to type the actual color name.

LOL, you're welcome.  :)

Your test that used more than one code:

Code: [Select]

[size=8][color=48d1cc]COOOOOOLLLL!!![/color][/size] will be guaranteed to work if you add a # sign before the hexidecimal code.  So it would look like this:

Code: [Select]

[size=8][color=#48d1cc]COOOOOOLLLL!!![/color][/size]and give you:
[size=8]COOOOOOLLLL!!![/size]

You know that the RGB combination you chose has a color name, right?  That's medium turquoise.  It may or may not be easier to type but it's certainly easier to remember. ;)
