Text colors may be specified by name or RGB value. The RGB color format uses hexadecimal numbers, with 2 hex digits each for red, green, and blue. These range from 0 (00 in hex) to 255 (FF in hex). In certain situations BYOND will also honor a fourth pair of digits for alpha.

<pre>#<span style="color:red">rr</span><span style="color:green">gg</span><span style="color:blue">bb</span>
#<span style="color:red">rr</span><span style="color:green">gg</span><span style="color:blue">bb</span><span style="opacity:0.67">aa</span></pre>

It is also possible to use 4 bit values by using only one hex digit per color. The full 8 bit color is produced by repeating each digit. For example, `#F00` (red) is the same as `#FF0000`.

The named colors supported by BYOND, and their corresponding RGB values, are listed in the following table:

|       black        |\#000000|   |
|--------------------|--------|---|
|       silver       |\#C0C0C0|   |
|   gray *or* grey   |\#808080|   |
|       white        |\#FFFFFF|   |
|       maroon       |\#800000|   |
|        red         |\#FF0000|   |
|       purple       |\#800080|   |
|fuchsia *or* magenta|\#FF00FF|   |
