Thumbs up Found a way to write "invisibly" on Toyota Nation.

I see people here sometimes write secret messages in their posts, but they aren't really secret since they're written in white. As you can see, white still sticks out, so I started playing around with ways to write invisibly.

[color=white]After a few minutes of experimenting, I realized that you can use [color=#F0F0F0] instead of . Compare this paragraph with the next one for reference...

[color=#F0F0F0]"#FFFFFF" is a way to determine a character's color. You can go from #000000 (black) to #FFFFFF (white). Fortunately, #F0F0F0 creates a color that resembles TN's background, so the text written with [color=#F0F0F0] looks invisible. You can use this instead of if you want to type something secret (like a spoiler when talking about a movie, or when explaining a "dirty" joke.) If you want people to find your message, try putting * marks at both ends of the paragraph. I purposely didn't just so you could try and find the message (the blank space in my post probably gave it away.)

Other points of reference:

This is #FF0000.
This is #00FF00.
This is #0000FF.
This is #FFFF00.
This is #FF00FF.
This is #00FFFF.

More info:

The first two numbers represent red; the second green; the last blue. F0 is larger than 99, and F1 is larger than F0 etc. Also, FF is larger than F9. The larger the number, the brighter that section of the color is. So:

#007700 is darker than #00FF00. You can also use anything lower than F, such as #00DD00.

Experiment, and you'll no longer feel like you're limited to "just" worded colors. I had to let you guys know what I found out as soon as I could. Some of you probably know about this already, but for those who don't, well, now you know!

->Well, I knew about the #FFFFFF stuff already, but I wanted to see if there was a color that matched the site's background so people who wanted to write something "secret" could actually do so without trying to "hide it in plain sight" as with the white color.

Again, you can always use -> and <- to show you have a secret message if you're afraid no one will notice what you've written.

but why would anyone want to do that, since when we put it in white we're basically just making a sort of "inside joke" or just trying to keep people who don't scrutinize posts out of the loop?

It was something I found out, that's all. Nothing important or anything, just something interesting. Besides, I thought it would be cool to know.

how would i go about finding another color? is it just trial and error until you find the right combination of code, or is there a way to find the color you want with a list?

it's pretty cool, it could come in handy.
