Just curious, how do I make words appear in a dark red or dark blue color? I know how the formatting works, but I'm not sure what keywords to use for dark red and dark blue. Thanks! --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]<sup>'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]'''''</sup> 20:19, 25 April 2020 (EDT)

:Dark red I've had problems with so I use brown; for dark blue try boldening.

:Thanks for the suggestion RobSmith, and here's the thing. So I created [[United States Senate election in Maine, 2020|this page]], and I was initially thinking of using dark red and dark blue for the font colors in the wikitable for [[Susan Collins]] and [[Sara Gideon]] respectively, thinking that it would contrast with the generic red/blue colors for internal links, but after closely observing the colors after your reply, it turns out that the regular red and blue colors differ from the generic colors for wikified text. However, there is also another problem. For the situation where I'm trying to change the font color, it seems that apparently font color can't be changed in a wikitable, or something else. I used a wikitable as I couldn't figure out a way to put one image directly to the left of another, and it seems that this issue with font color formatting arises.. --[[User:Liberaltears|Liberaltears]]<sup>'''''[[User talk:Liberaltears|Your reminder that Biden committed quid pro joe]]'''''</sup> 21:43, 25 April 2020 (EDT)

::So are you trying to contrast GOP for red and Dem for blue? Maybe a miniicon like this or somesuch formatting. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Live Free or Die]]</sup> 22:02, 25 April 2020 (EDT)
