i want to make a color text of orange in my map
i already have simple blues, yellow, and red
i used color template.exe i d/l from the files section
and choose orange, but when i use the hex code for orange, it turned
out a sorta aquamarine blue instead

whats the hex for orange?
|cFF0080FForange!|r the color template says that should be a orange, but its not..

Just use "War3 Color" by Magos its a great prog, all you do is type in your text, choose your color, hit "Copy to Clipboard" then you go to WE and paste it.

The above link is to his homepage, click on "My Programs" and you will see "War3 Colour" listed there.

As for why you hex code isn't working, thats because Blizzard rearranged the hex in theirs, its not RGB in theirs, its like BRG or something (I can't remember.)

Blizzard uses the nice standard RGB values. This is what's wrong: "|cFF0080FForange!|r" You have FF for transparency, which is good, then you have 00 for red, 80 for green and FF for blue, which clearly doesn't give you an orange color. Switch it to |cFFFF8000orange!|r And it should work.
