Is there a list of color codes that can be used on this site? I have need to use two different colors but when I try using the html codes for color they won't change and I noticed that an abbreviated version is used here. I can't find anything to help me figure that out. Also what font is the default for stories as I am thinking of using it instead of what I do when I write.
Thanks

Georgia and Verdana are the default fonts on BC.

All the color codes work but they have to be formatted as "#RRGGBB" to work on all browsers.

Default fonts

I submit my posts in html and remove all references to typefaces[1], leaving only some size indicators in the headings.

That ensures that I get the default fonts :)

[1] There are rare occasions where I needed a font change; I just set the typeface for that paragraph as 'Sans Serif'. The default, I believe, is 'Serif'.

Thank you

We may be filtering your CSS if you use inline CSS for your colors. I will look into what is in our filter list.
