• Is there a plugin that exists to easily change the color of posted text? I understand that you can manually insert HTML to change text when composing a post, but what I am looking for is something that brings up a few colors that you can change highlighted text to. I have searched around and found nothing like it…

  • you want your visitor to be able to change colors, or are you looking to customize a theme?

    Define some new css classes, then create some quicktags to speed up using them.

    Not what you want, but close ?

    Well podz that is a good idea that I had not considered.

    I guess what I really want is a small window that pops up with a color wheel that automatically determines the HTML color number based on where you click.

    Miklb I would like a colorwheel-like interface to pop up when writing or editing a post that inserts the correct HTML around highlighted text to change it to the color I clicked on.

    While it isn’t a pop up thing, check out these resources.

    And it isn’t hard to add something like:

    <span style="color:blue">Text in blue</span>

    As you are writing. Or add it to the quicktags so it pops up in a window and you just type in the color.

    If you are using a LOT of color references in your text, then there is an alternative. In your style.css of your Theme, set up the typical colors you use in classes like this:

    .blue {color:blue}
    .red {color:red}
    .green {color:green}

    And using it like this:

    Blah talking about <span class="blue">something in green</span> and then <span class="red">something in red</span>....

    Then you don’t have to remember all the color codes like #4598h34 or whatever 😉 and only remember “green”, “red”, and so on.
