 * 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.

 * 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.
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Developing_a_Colour_Scheme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Developing_a_Colour_Scheme)
 * 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.
