It took a relatively large amount of time because I only had loads of hex codes (like 000FCC) and I had to put [colour=# in front of it, then ]"name of color"[ /color] at the end - a slow process which I tried all sorts of technique to try and speed up.

They were already in 'rainbow' order thought so I didn't have to worry about that. :wink:

Olive is a wonderful color, easy enough to see on this background. Go for it.

Most Institute threads tend to be older now, as the ones who frequently updated them tend to be older and more prestigious IFians.

But, hIFtory aside, is anyone willing to update this thread with more colours?
