Sidenote for Clay to put in OP: There are exactly 16,777,216 colors possible in BBcode,[footnote]A.K.A. forum code.[/footnote] and pretty much just programming in general, but most of them don't have names. They are all assigned a value of three successions of a two digit base 16 number[footnote]Link to Hexadecimal System (A.K.A. Base 16). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal][/footnote] looking like #000000 for black to #FFFFFF for white. The first pair being a range of 0-255 for red, the second the same for green, and the third for blue. Examples:
*#FFFFFF or White* <--- *#000000 or Black* *#FF0000 or Red* *#00FF00 or Lime* *#0000FF or Blue* *#FFFF00 or Yellow* *#00FFFF or Aqua or Cyan* *#FF00FF or Magenta or Fuchsia*
That would be BB code.

Three, you could also mention that "Black" is also a color command. Even though black is default, some things that have other default colors like the "H" 's.

There are exactly 16,777,216 colors possible in BBcode,[footnote]A.K.A. forum code.[/footnote] and pretty much just programming in general, but most of them don't have names. They are all assigned a value of three successions of a two digit base 16 number[footnote]Link to Hexadecimal System (A.K.A. Base 16). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal][/footnote] looking like #000000 for black to #FFFFFF for white. The first pair being a range of 0-255 for red, the second the same for green, and the third for blue. Examples:
*#FFFFFF or White* <--- *#000000 or Black* *#FF0000 or Red* *#00FF00 or Lime* *#0000FF or Blue* *#FFFF00 or Yellow* *#00FFFF or Aqua or Cyan* *#FF00FF or Magenta or Fuchsia*
