BBCode Color Tag: Valid Color Names

The Bulletin Board Code (BBCode) Color tag is used to change the color of the text contained within its tags. i.e. [color=red].....[/color] . Both HTML color names and hexadecimal color values are supported by the Color Tag.

Flatpress Blog Engine Color tag supports all known 147 HTML color names. However, only the original 16 color names are considered valid when you validate your web page using a HTML or CCS validation tool. You can use the color name for the remaining 131 colors, it is just a recommendation to use their HEX values instead.

216 colors are considered web safe, but not all assigned an HTML color name. Therefore, to use some of these additional colors you need to use their hexadecimal value. In this post, all 147-color names are used as proof that Flatpress supports them. They are ordered by color name. Some of the colors will match the colors of the background and you will not see them. To see there texts just highlight the entire page.

Note:
“Aqua” and “Cyan” produce the same color: #00FFFF
“Fuchsia” and “Magenta” produce the same color: #FF00FF
