I use italics for thoughts...

Yeah, so do I, but usually when referencing something a different character said in a previous post, I use italics and the quotation marks. One way to differentiate is to only use colors for spoken words, not thoughts. For instance:

[i][color=f49ac2]"The sky is blue,"[/color][/i] she said to her lover. [i][color=f49ac2]"It looks beautiful."[/color][/i]

[color=8493ca]"So do you,"[/color] he replied, gazing into her eyes. [i]Wow, she is really amazing[/i], he thought to himself.
