IRC Colours

This is a reference page describing the IRC colour pallette. The colours have been found by using mIRC to generate test colours and then using an eyedropper on a screenshot.

Since mIRC is the client that, to my knowledge, was the first to implement this particular colour pallette, I think it's safe to say that whatever mIRC implements is the complete and absolute truth.

Colour	Code	RGB
	0	`#FFFFFF`
	1	`#000000`
	2	`#00007F`
	3	`#009300`
	4	`#FF0000`
	5	`#7F0000`
	6	`#9C009C`
	7	`#FC7F00`
	8	`#FFFF00`
	9	`#00FC00`
	10	`#009393`
	11	`#00FFFF`
	12	`#0000FC`
	13	`#FF00FF`
	14	`#7F7F7F`
	15	`#D2D2D2`

Should be noted, however, that mIRC users - like other clients too - can freely redefine these colours.

And a warning to fellow editors: using the GUI mode will destroy all the nicely laid our colour boxes.

What about supporting a new color and attribute protocol? Colloquy and XiRCON support CTCP/2 text attributes. http://www.lag.net/~robey/ctcp/ctcp2.2.txt
