How Do I Create a Coloured-text Forum Signature?

Hey there! So I'm currently re-doing my forum signature and I would like it to have coloured text. However, I'm not sure how to make the text coloured. Please reply with an answer if you know how to do this, thank you!

To do this, you need to use a certain BBcode tag named “color”.

There is no button for color, but it can be typed, and it accepts one argument, which is a color name or a hexadecimal color code.

Here is an example:
[color=red]This is red text[/color]
[color=0000FF]This is blue text[/color]

produces:
This is red text
This is blue text

In addition to regular color names, there is a special name, “transparent”. This produces invisible text.

Example:
[color=transparent]This is invisible text[/color]

produces:
This is invisible text

Invisible text can be viewed by highlighting it.

No problem. To help you achieve the desired affect, I have found a list of color names that should work with the color tag. I'd assume they work, but I don't want to test them all. You can use these if you don't feel comfortable using hex codes:

Thank you again! Do I type in the name of the colour and the number, or just the number?
