1.) The colours were just examples...I'm not saying they'd be the colours I'd actually use; and there's only going to be one style, in dark colours.
2.) Yes, that's one way of doing it, but I'm looking for a way that would allow
all team members to have a certain "official" colour. Given that the forums I'm working on are for an online game (not the forums at the website in my sig...), I wanted the staff members to be able to 'stand out' in the forums as much as they do in the game (In the game, staff members have different text colours that users...hence my reasoning for wanthing this on the forums...) and not just with a coloured, bolded, or italicized username. That's the purpose behind the request.
I hope that's coherent...I'm typing this quite late at night
