Warning: Not all color names are recognized, and color names may differ from one web browser to another. Using the color codes like '#000000' instead of the name 'black' is the best way to make sure your bio appears the same when viewed from multiple web browsers (ie Netscape, Internet Explorer, Safari, or Mozilla).
Here are a few to get you started:
| Value | Color | Value | Color | |
| black | gray | |||
| white | sienna | |||
| red | hotpink | |||
| orange | coral | |||
| yellow | wheat | |||
| green | lightgreen | |||
| blue | aqua | |||
| purple | violet |
Now click in the text color field as show below and edit the value.

If you notice that your bio is so wide that you have to scroll your window to the right or left, just to read the text, that is probably really annoying and something worth fixing.
Here's an example of the "wide bio" problem (followed by the solution below):
Your bio will always be as wide as your widest image, or group of images. For example if your images are hosted on photobucket, they may be very large. This can cause your bio to be very wide. To fix this problem, use our tool to resize your image. If your bio is too wide because you have too many smaller images grouped together on the same row you can do one of two things. You can ungroup the images so that they are no longer displayed side by side, or you can use the resize image tool to make each of the grouped images smaller. Whether your problem is caused by one large image, or multiple images side by side, we recommend that you limit the total image width to 700 pixels. So if you have one large image, use the resize tool to make it 700 pixels wide. If you have two images side by side use the resize image tool to make each of them 350 pixels wide or less.
Also if you think the text in your titles is too wide you can insert <br> in the middle of the title to make the text wrap around to the next line, or you can use a smaller font size for your bio.
For example: if your main title was "Jack and Jill Happily Ever After"
the actual title in your bio could look like this:
Jack and Jill Happily Ever After
However if you change the main title to "Jack and Jill <br>Happily Ever After"
the actual title in your bio could look like this:
Jack and Jill
Happily Ever After
