Here is a little tutorial i am now writing to tell people who do not know how to use any color font on MSN...

1. Get The Red Green Blue or Hex Values of your color

1. Get The Red Green Blue or Hex Values of your color
   
   • If you have the HEX values, skip to step 3.
     
   • Open up paint.
     
   • Double click on a color in hte color picker
     
   • Click the Define Custom Color button
     
   • Look at the red green and blue numbers.
2. Convert each number to HEX with Calculator
   
   • Open up windows calculator.
     
   • Go to the view menu and select scientific.
     
   • Press the F6 Key to switch to normal Decimal form
     
   • Punch in the number (Example: 128)
     
   • Press the F5 key to Switch to Hex
     
   • Write down the HEX number for each Red Green and Blue
3. Use Regedit to change the color
   
   • Start>Run>regedit
     
   • Brows to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\#########
     
     • Each email address that has logged in on MSN Messenger will have a different number, there is a way to convert them, but its easiest if you jsut do a gues and check
   • Double Click on the IM Color key
     
     • You will see 4 sets of 2 digitsafter 4 0's, like this 0000 00 00 80 00, the fi 3 sets of 2 zeros are your R, G, and B, like this: 0000 00 00 80 00
   • Change the values to the HEX values you calculated, for example, the color skyblue:
     Red: 0
     Green: 128
     Blue: 255
     
     HEX:
     Red: 00
     Green: 80
     Blue: FF
     
     Change it to look like this: 0000 00 80 FF 00
