Colour in Posting.
Who here likes colours and variey in there posts? Are you tired of seeing the same old dull and boring shades? These generic colours: Black, red, yellow, pink, green, orange, purple, blue, beige, brown, teal, navy, maroon, lime green.
Who else agrees that they are boring? And some of them even hurt your eyes to look at! Although if used correctly they can look decent and nice. But a lot of the time it is better to steer away from those boring genetic codes. So that is why I am here doing this. I am going to teach and show you all just what you can do, and how you can make your writing colourful and pretty.
So without further ado let me introduce you to the hex code.
Hex Codes
First off I'm going to start by explaining what a hex code is. Hex codes are a six figured code that is used to put colours in posts. They consist of both numbers from 0 - 9 and letters from A - F. The digits range from 0 (being the darkest, corresponding to black) to F (being the lightest, corresponding to white.) and are what allow us to effectively colour posts. These codes have a massive range, and every colour you can possibly think of has a code! There are many sites that can help you out, but for now I'll show you how to use them and what they look like ^^
Here is an example of a hex code: #1259E1
How, then, do we put Hex Codes into practical application? The same way you would as if it were any drop-down colour; that is, treat the six-digit number (disregard the # sign) as if it were the name of the colour.
Example:
[color=9A79AC]This purple-like colour is very pretty[/color]Looks like:
This purple-like colour is very pretty
[color=a1ce85]Hex codes are not effected by capital letters.[/color]Looks like:
Hex codes are not effected by capital letters.
So that's is how a hex code works. Don't get it? PM me and I'll explain some more ^^ Being able to use these codes isn't the same as using them correctly. Some people don't understand and they mix and match colours, and it can turn out awful. Next up I'm going to show you the best way to work out colour schemes.
