Well... if you want to know the basic colors, just ask people. But if you want to actually be able to make your text exactly the color you want, you need to have some understanding of hexidecimal and the way colors on a computer work.

Colors on a computer use a combination of RGB (Red, Green and Blue) to determine what color something is going to be. For coloring text in Warcraft 3, it follows the format |cRRGGBB00coloredtext|r. So, if you want something purely red (full R but no G or B), you would do |cFF000000text|r, since F in hexidecimal is 15 in decimal (on a scale of 0-15), FF = (16*16)-1, or 255, which is the highest R(red), G(green) or B(blue) can go.

If you didn't understand any of that, don't worry. If you're interested in learning hexidecimal so you can figure out this sort of thing on your own, I'm sure somebody would help you (I'd even be willing to). If not, I have color codes for some of the most common colors listed below:

Red = |cFF000000text|r
Green = |c00FF0000text|r
Blue = |c0000FF00text|r
Dark Grey = |c33333300text|r
Light Grey = |cBBBBBB00text|r
Yellow = |cFFFF0000text|r
Pink = |cFF00FF00text|r
Purple = |c8800FF00text|r
Cyan = |c00FFFF00text|r

Also, you may have noticed that in the |cFFFFFF00text|r, the last 2 digits are always zero. That, I think, has to do with a transparency value, but since text can't be transparent (I don't think it can anyway), they're always 00.

If you want color codes for specific colors, just ask here and somebody can probably give them to you.

Actually the for red its |cffff0000TEXT|r Its the 1st 2 number that should always be ff, if any have to do with transparency its them
i'll list the proper ones:
Red = |cffff0000TEXT|r
Green = |cFF00FF00text|r
Blue = |cFF0000FFtext|r
Dark Grey = |cFF333333text|r
Light Grey = |cFFBBBBBBtext|r
Yellow = |cFFFFFF00text|r
Pink = |cFFFF00FFtext|r
Purple = |cFF8800FFtext|r
Cyan = |cFF00FFFFtext|r

Mr.Safety
I have aquired three different forms of the player colours. I have the hex values, the RGB x/255 values and even RGB % values. The reason is that all three of these methods are required in different actions within the WE.
Code:
Hex Values:
|c00ff0303player1|r   |c000042ffplayer2|r   |c001ce6b9player3|r
|c00540081player4|r   |c00fffc01player5|r   |c00feba0eplayer6|r
|c0020c000player7|r   |c00e55bb0player8|r   |c00959697player9|r
|c007ebff1player10|r   |c00106246player11|r   |c004e2a04player12|r
Code:
XXX/255 Values:
red: 255-3-3
blue: 0-66-255
teal: 28-230-185
purple: 84-0-129
yellow: 255-252-1
orange: 254-186-14
green: 32-192-0
pink: 229-91-176
grey: 149-150-151
light blue: 126-191-241
dark green: 16-98-70
brown: 78-42-4
Code:
RGB % Values:
red: 100.00, 1.17, 1.17
blue: 0.00, 25.88, 100.00
teal: 9.80, 90.20, 72.55
purple: 32.94, 0.00, 50.59
yellow: 100.00, 98.82, 0.40
orange: 99.61, 72.94, 5.49
green: 12.55, 75.30, 0.00
pink: 89.80, 35.69, 69.02
grey: 58.43, 58.82, 59.21
light blue: 49.41, 74.90, 94.51
dark green: 6.27, 38.43, 27.45
brown: 30.59, 16.47, 1.57

Ah, whoops. Sorry about that. I thought I read somewhere that it didn't matter if it was FF or 00 for the transparency... and thought it was at the end. Oh well. Thanks for correcting me, blizz fan ;)

also, if you own adobe photoshop, you can just move the color slider in the color box and it will give you your code there, for basicly any color period.

edit: sorry, nvm i just tried. they must be different codes

Heh, I think we just like doing things the hard way ;) J/k, I should get that prog. Since I am so bad with colorcodes. As seen... above... :\

Thanks, Reaper!
