Where are all the pretty colors?

Are you saying black isn’t a pretty color?

Black is the absence of colour (it may also be the absence of color, but I couldn’t be sure, as I have never been to America).

Let’s see how far using the [colour] tag gets you with this software. :wink:

Black is a very pretty color. Black even looks good in different colors. Anyone else agree with my feelings about the color black?

Ahhhgh…forgot the colors…I’ll do 'em later…
:smiley: I never even considered a “COLOUR” tag error…
As well, am I with other americans in that “Colour” makes me want to say “co-LORE”?

“Colour” makes me want to say “kuh-LOOR”.

You want color names?

Apparently it only works if you have numerals or the letters A-F appearing in the first few (6 I think) characters of your user name - it is interpreted as a hexadecimal number.

Wow! That’s awesome!

At least it is to me, who knows next-to-nothing about code…

Okay, on with the experiments…

I thought about trying that months ago, when this came up before, but I decided I would be too disappointed if it wasn’t some shade of green, my favorite color. Ah, I wish I had been adventurous back then…
