text, just use this HTML tag inside square brackets:font color = "red" font color = "red" [/font] (or blue...)
Then to go back to black use [font color = "red"] /font [/font]inside the brackets.
To enlarge your font, write in brackets
[font color ="red"] font size = "+1" [/font] ( or "+2" or " + "+3"...)
And then, of course, [font color ="red"] /font [/font]to return to normal size.
You need to add[font color ="red"] /font [/font]at the end of the text for each font change you make.
So you can do this:
[font color = "red" font size= "+1" ] words words words[/font][/font]
Or this:
[font color = "blue" font size= "+3" ] words words words[/font][/font]
[span style="background:#ff0000;"]Let me try something. . . .[/span]
[font color="00ff00"]Nope--didn't work. (I tried to color that text box.)[/font]
BUT in other places where you can use the HTML tag for the box color, you can use [font color="red"] span style="background=red"[/font] within either angle or square brackets to color the background of your text box. To end that HTML code use [font color="red"]/span[/font]
If the color has a name in HTML you can just write the name, but since not all the colors have a name in HTML, in order to able to use a color that doesn't, we have to use hexadecimal codes.
Here is a site with web safe hexadecimal codes for many colors:

Why would a liberal site find it offensive? Are they overrun with conservative trolls?

Exactly. 3 women posing in bathing suits for a magazine isn't a "human rights atrocity" at all.
