I was wanting to change the text that is written as the description under the forum name.

I want to add a few different colors ?

How can I do this?

You can use HTML in the forum description. Look on google for help about colouring text in HTML

I have tried to do this but I was only able to make the text italic or Bold

What sort of html did you try to make it colored?

I know for a fact this will be on google. Just search, "color", "text", "html" will be your keywords. ;)

I am sure that I have tried
something like this before

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

Should this work?

By the look of it you forgot the pound symbol (#) at the start. It should be #ABCDEF (change ABCDEF to the colour code).

A better way of doing it is described in the "Inline Styles" section on this page: http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_text_color_code.cfm (http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_text_color_code.cfm%28which) (which I got from the google search)

I will have a go at it and see how it goes. :)
