Anyone know of a good site that has COLOR ASCII art? :)
And if you are on IRC you should try GLowNDark IRC much MUCH better than
the OLD irc programs :>

The colorized ASCII art that you'll find at
my site has been colorized with HTML tags.
I have a hunch that he is looking for ASCII
which has been colorized for mIRC.  My
colorization will not work on mIRC-- there
is different process to colorize.

Thanks for thinking of me though!  :)

'-----------------

mIRC colourisation is done using CTRL+K which returns ascii character #3
followed by forground colour 1-15 then a comma then background colour 1-15 then
carry on with the art..... EZ!

Seeeeeeya,
Martin

I know..but he/she didn't even mention mIRC Color sites ;o)
Anyways...I don't think Control codes such as CTRL+k4 (Red)
would work in HTLM =)

Anyways...the codes for mIRC (mIRC 4.7 and newer) is:
CTRL+K (Any number between 1 and 16) text = colored text
CTRL+B = Bold
CTRL+R = Reverzed
CTRL+U = Underlined

The colors is: 
1 = Black, 2 = Dark Blue, 3 = Dark Green, 4 = Red, 5 = Dark Red/Brown,
6 = Purple, 7 = Myster, 8 = Yellow, 9 = Light Green, 10 = Dark Cyan,
11 = Light Cyan, 12 = Light Blue, 13 = Pink, 14 = Dark Grey,
15 = Light Grey and 16 = White

You can combine this to make background colors with , (comma) like:

CTRL+k+4,8:o) = Red Smiley with yellow background color

This is mIRC Colors...and some other IRC Clients has the same codes..
but *NOT* all...there are even IRC Clients wich dont even support
colors...like ircII, BitchX (The newest does, with a patch added, for
both win and unix/linux) and so on..

Since I'm not quite sure of *all* html colors...I won't even try =)
Anyways...they do start with: <color=#number> text </color>

>Thanks for thinking of me though!  :)

You would be amazed if you knew how many people I have given
your URL too ;o)

'------------------------

<FONT COLOR="#rrggbb">text</FONT>

where rr, gg and bb are hexidecimal representations of the amount or Red, Green
and Blue (respectively) in the color... ranging from 0-255. 255 is hex is ff, so
for blue, for example, you would use #0000ff  (0 red, 0 green, 255 blue) you can
get a mid blue with #00007f.

gettit?

I believe is is also valid to say <FONT COLOR="Red"> or whatever... but that`s
not a very surefire way of getting the correct color.
