In addition, if you are using HTML or MXP, you can create your own custom colors utilizing HEX Codes. By using `: followed by a six digit RGB hex
code for the color you want, allowing for unlimited colors. ie: `:444444
For hex codes, see: http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.htm For blending hex codes, see: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/color-blend/
There is a tool on the website for generating the color codes for blended HEX color of specific string you create. This is handy for creating equipment
color strings or short description color strings. It can be found at:

NOTE FOR BUILDERS: Please do not use hex code when building areas. It does not come across well to those who do not have html coloring and can be blinding to them, as well as knock folks offline or displays random ascii.
Tips and Tricks: You can use the Colorize command to color a string of text and showme to test color combinations. Colorshow will show you the color strings of an object.
