    you can also pick whatever color you like from here: https://html-color-codes.info/
    and replace the color word with the HTML code...

    i.e. you can use #A72552 for burgandy

    I've been annoying the Ultimate Accountability Challenge groups for MONTHS with my hex colors. In bold. Daily. I make sure they're web safe, at least. Thank goodness for their patience with me ๐Ÿ˜

    Do you know how to make the font bigger? I have tried all sorts of size tags and such, but I'm thinking that maybe size changes are disabled.

    Spent quite some time trying to use a rainbow text generator but it either doesn't work here or I don't understand how to make it work here.
    Takes me back to the Tumblr days when we were all low key coding stuffs.
