All the links above go to the forums home page...

Make sure you finish the code for EVERY part and make sure you do not copy the spaces I added.

Now for some colours...

Red color=#FF0000     ██████
Orange color=#FFA500 ██████
Yellow color=#FFFF00  ██████
Green color=#228B22 ██████
Blue color=#0000FF    ██████
Violet color=#8A2BE2 ██████
Indigo color=#4B0082 ██████

So, a rainbow!

Some colours you also might want to use...
Almost invisible text in posts color=#DCDCDC ███

How to show BBCode without spaces in between, like so [url=http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/index.php]Forums Home[/url]
to do this some BBCode must be put inside the main code...

Code:

[url[b][/b]]blablabla[/url] 
so you see, I put some random, easy to type, 
BBCode inside the starting BBCode 
and it didn't work! (above^)

also, it doesn't matter where you put it inside, just so long as it is in, it will stop the BBCode.

Now, I don't know why you would want to use this but, Fake Links!
To make a fake link just do this: [url=javasript:void(0)][u]your text here[/u][/url] exactly the way I have it, which looks like:

Hexadecimal code

About

The hexadecimal code uses 6 letters or numbers in a row (FF0000 for example)...hence the "hex" part. Without six digits it will not work.

Hexadecimal code has 16 digits.
Character.   Value.
0                 0
1                 1
2                 2
3                 3
4                 4
5                 5
6                 6
7                 7
8                 8
9                 9
A                10
B                11
C                12
D                13
E                14
F                15

Hexadecimal codes use the #RRGGBB colour space

So in #000000 we have

Red value. Red value. Green value. Green value. Blue value. Blue value.
      0              0               0                 0                0              0

So the more you put in...the more of the colour you have...for instance...

Red value. Red value. Green value. Green value. Blue value. Blue value.
      F (15)        F (15)          0                 0                0              0

is a nice bright red (FF0000) because all we put in...is red! Simple isn't it?

Combinations

rdococ also wrote:

Here are the combinations:

User Combinations

Try making your own colour. If you think its good, name it and tell me so I can add it in here.

When submitting an entry please show the code used and the colour separately as it is annoying for me to have to quote to see the code. Thank you!

What's the colour Squant in BBCode?
(I don't expect you to know, because Squant is primary and it has a different sense from others)

Please answer.
I'm expecting it to be similar to a blue-yellow.
EDIT:

Fake Squant (colour hex #80FF80) ###
Fake Squellow/Real Peach (colour hex #FFD080) ###

EDIT2: Weren't bright enough. Peach looked like orange, and Squant looked like green.
EDIT3: Still too dark? Give me more colours to test.

EDIT4: Tell them about the colour space.
Hexademical codes use the #RRGGBB colour space, even tho most people use RYB.
Here is the combinations:
Red, and green make yellow, not brown. Halving the green also makes orange.
Blue, and green make aqua.
Red, and blue make magenta.
All together make white, not brown. Halving every colour also makes darker shades of white, e.g. grey.

P.S. I've been up for like, more than 24 hours!

Re: All you need to know about BBCode

Well I'm not sure about "squant"... This shows what you might want to know...I just looked it up on the internet...I'd never even heard about "squant"

some random internet guy wrote:

Does this make as little sense to you guys as it does to me? It's apparently a new 4th primary color that was discovered a while back, and they named it "squant".

I think it's BS, mainly because there's no room on the tested and true electromagnetic spectrum for it to be placed.

Not only that, but people have issues with installing the plugin (even though you still need to purchase a squant capable monitor, WHAT A LAUGH!), and they received the error message "file not found: A Squant-Colored Folder". Does this not sound like a giant joke, to you?

I don't think there could be a 4th primary color, otherwise we'd have people walking around since the day we could speak, asking "what is this 4th color, and why does it not have a name?".

I've also searched around, and have found absolutely nothing reputable that mentions it, no peer review, no real scientific journals, nothing. Only the original site, and a link or two, plus a digg.

http://www.negativland.com/squant/home2.gif
so yeah...

Edit: The text above says

This page contains the color Squant. Due to technological limitations, the current RGB spectral model cannot support the newly discovered primary colour Squant. On this site the grey colour denotes Squant, until it is viewable on colour monitors.

Re: All you need to know about BBCode

And, all the normal colours are:
#808080 (named Grey)
#FF0000 (named Red)
#FFFF00 (named Yellow)
#00FF00 (named Green)
#FF8000 (named Orange)
#0000FF (named Blue)
#FFFFFF (named White)
#000000 (named Black)

More tips:
- Half of FF is 80.
- Hexademical goes from 0-F, and one hex. bit is 16 colours, 2 is 256 colours. Having 6 hexademical bits would equal 256 ^ 3 (or for british, 256 * 256 * 256) colours.
- In binary (0-1) you would need 8 bits for 0-255 or 256 colours, but it is the same job with just 2 bits for hexademical!
- Simulating transparency: Make the colour look more gainsboro in normal posts, make it look more like lavenderblush in quotes.
- In the code tag, all BBCode (including colours) is disabled.

Re: All you need to know about BBCode

TBH this feels a bit like a ripoff of my BBCode guide xD
