O.P. How To Change Your Font Color
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
[list=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.
[*] 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
[*]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
[*]Close all IM's and your color should now be set.

Also you should have a warning because not all people understand how to edit the registory, and they could mess things up.
