Need help with colors

[ZyronnSorrow]

Hello. I am here to discuss my problems with the color codes. I know that white is <color: ffffff0>, black is <color: 0000000>, and yellow is <color: ff00ff0>. These color codes for sure work for me (yes, you do have to add an extra 0 at the end of the code becuase otherwise the print result is the color code and not the color), however when I try other color codes (even looking at a hex code chart), the print result is always, ALWAYS, black! Help please?

Black is <color:ZZZZZZ>
Yellow is <color:FFFF00>

I'll try those, however I would like to know every color.

White is <color:FFFFFF>

black is <color:000000>
it's red green blue, 2 digits each, 0 - F, F is light colored, 0 is dark

You don't need an extra 0 at the end. That just messes things up. You need to make the word "color" lowercase.


Also.

00       00             00
Red     Green         Blue

Add different amounts of each color to make more colors.

FF0000 - Red
FFFF00 - Yellow
00FF00 - Green
00FFFF - Cyan
0000FF - Blue
FF00FF - Magenta
FFFFFF - White
000000 - Black

Technically its a representation of three numbers between 0 and 255. Each number is assigned to a color: the  first is red, the second is green, and the third is blue.

In binary this would be xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Each X can be 0, or 1.
However, the <color:> tag uses hexadecimal. This means you can go from 0 to 9 and then there's A (10), B (11), C (12), D (13), E (14), and F (15).

Now, it's so natural that we do it subconsiously, but in our numbering system, each place has a multiplier.

1000  100  10  1
  x3    x2    x1 x6

3000 + 200 + 10 + 6 = 3216.

Same thing with hexadecimal.
256   16   1
x0     xf   xf

0 + (16x15=240) + 15 = 255.

Hope this helps!

I know about color code. It's just that when I try to do this:

<color: ffffff>

it prints out as this:

<color: ffffff>Hi

However, if I do:

<color: ffffff0>

it prints out as this:

Hi (only it's white)

I already know about color codes!! My problem is that for some reason either the color code gets printed out instead of the color changing, or the color is just black!

EVERY color!?

Jesus!

You do know that there are 4,294,967,296 different color combinations, and 37,822,859,361 duplicates of these colors (Because G-Z are supported)

That's 42,117,826,657 colors you're asking for!!

Here's the popular colors:


<color:FF0000> Red
<color:FF8800> Orange

The format RRGGBBSS (S for Saturation) is also supported. This can create dull colors.

Wow. Sorry guys. I am soooo idiotic...

Ok, when some guy told me about color code, he told me to use this format:

<color: ff00ff0> (yellow)
<color:ffff00> (yellow)
I'm supposed to do the above, the one without the space. Problem solved, thx 4 the help.
