General

There are two ways to specify a particular color, and usually more than one way to use markup to specify the color displayed. If you have a very specific color in mind, you can specify the exact color by determining the Red Green and Blue components and converting this to a decimal equivalent (an example is given below).

You can also use color constants, these are words that the wiki engine recognizes and will display that color for you without having to know the RGB components. A fairly complete table is given below that displays a variety of color constants.

Most modern browsers are able to display most colors, however there are still occasions where the colors a user sees are dependent on their particular browser/software version.

Using Colors

Here are some examples of using colors to change the appearance of different wiki elements. Both methods are shown (color constant and hexadecimal).

Text that is <font color=Green>Green</font>.

Text that is Green.


Text that is <font color=#0000FF>Red</font>.
