Does anyone know the colour for invisible text, for spoilers etc?

Well, just think of it as Ed-Ed-Ed
 
There's a sticky in the brainteasers forum with the color code if you ever forget, which is likely (I always have to re-look it up). That's where hidden text gets used most often.
 
Thanks guys and gals.

Not that anyone can tell, but technically it's ececec, not black.
 
The source clearly says :

<TD bgcolor="#EDEDED">
 
It does! It used to be #ececec. It must have been changed recently.

Nope. #black was determined very shortly after the color schemes changed...there was a thread ongoing at the time that had spoilers and is the reason we quickly looked up the replacement for using white text. Others are really close and worked okay, but #black is the one someone found from the source code.
 
<white[/color]>
<#black[/color]>
<#ececec[/color]>

Ed and Ec both look good.

Ah I just saw that!:blushing: :devil:
 
Doesn't invisble code work anymore here because I can see the text people typed here without hilighting?

I think I read somewhere that the background color had changed, therefore the "invisible" color changed as well. Currently it's #E3E3E3

Example: Invisible text[/color]
