would not the simplest solution for colors be to have it utilize a basic hexadecimal color code system, rather than having a list of just a few, pre-programmed colors?

Ideally it'd be similar to how it worked on old RPG, with maybe a better interface. It had a list of colors you could pick from for ease of use, like you could do [color=blue] and get a default shade of blue, but you could do the hexadecimal thing as well if you wanted to get specific with it. That's an ideal mix between intuitive use and allowing users freedom to do as they wish, imo.
