Too bad. But how do I get one anyways?

you can learn about Scratch BBCode here.

(edit for explanation): you can use BBCode in a forum post by just typing it, and you can use the green tick button to preview what it will show as.
the buttons in the post editor (like the button for bold, italics, etc.) automatically write BBCode for you, but there isn't a button for coloured text, so to colour text you must type the code yourself.

shows as green text (green text)

shows as yellow text (yellow text)


you can also make these colours:
- green (green) / forestgreen (forestgreen)
- seagreen (seagreen)
- aquamarine (aquamarine)
- turquoise (turquoise)
- lime (lime)
- lightgreen (light green)
- darkgreen (dark green)
- yellow (yellow)
- beige (beige)
- olive (olive)
those are all the shades of yellow and green that I know of, but there might be more, I guess you can find out by experimenting.


you can also use hex codes if you want a very specific colour.
shows as specific green (specific green)

you can get a colour's hex code if you google “colour picker” and pick the colour you want.
many art/editing programs also use hex codes, and colour swatch websites usually provide some sort of code to go with the colour.


if you want to make each letter of a word have an individual colour, you'd have to manually code each letter, or use a generator like this one.
