Ah I see, if you look at the output for the editor all the colour boxes use web-standard color names instead of Hex codes. I think the hex codes may just be there for reference?

How about instead, you edit the word Yellow to the "#FFFF66" instead? (Or edit both even) - vbulletin_textedit.js.

Hey, that actually works - sort of. ;)

If I change one of the color titles to #FFFF66, then the square is indeed a lighter yellow, and selecting it puts {color=#"FFFF99"} tags into the text editing window. So you can change the names to hex values and this will change the colors displayed in the drop down menu. What the actual hex codes in the javascript are doing beats me. Changing them seems to have no effect.

But ultimately, this doesn't achieve what I wanted. And I can see that I am probably approaching this wrong.

I'll explain it a little better: I have an existing forum that used to have one type of skinned look. In various posts, Yellow was used, and it was the regular bright yellow #FFFF00. The forum had a medium gray background.

Now, the forum has a new skin that has a much darker almost black background. The yellow bits just look too bright and stand out too much. I was hoping to somehow modify the code so that whenever it finds a vBcode tag for yellow, instead of using #FFFF00, it would use #FFFF66.

I'm guessing this needs to be intercepted and modified in the code that actually parses all of the vBcode. If you have any idea which file that would be in, please let me know. I'll respond back to this thread if I ever figure out how to make it work. Thanks for the suggestions!
