This page describes the various colour names that you can use in MXP tags.
Examples of such use are:
<color fore=brown back=lightcoral>
If you want to use other colours you can supply the RGB codes in hex, like this:
<color fore="#7FFFD4" back="#00008B">
The codes are in the order red, green, blue. ie. #RRGGBB.
The table below shows the RGB values for the colours in the table. To make a darker colour, lower the numbers, to make a lighter colour, increase the numbers. In each case the number range is 0 to 255 (00 to FF in hex).
