The Color Table about halfway down this page shows both the web-safe colors and the SL vectors for them. Use the vector numbers in your llSetText call.

Or the incredibly simplified version:

<1.0, 1.0, 1.0 > = white (values < 1.0 make greys)
<0.0, 0.0, 0.0 > = black

<1.0, 0.0, 0.0 > = red (values < 1.0 make darker reds)
<0.0, 1.0, 0.0 > = green (values < 1.0 make darker greens)
<0.0, 0.0, 1.0 > = blue (values < make darker blues)

<1.0, 0.0, 1.0 > = cyan
<1.0, 1.0, 0.0 > = yellow
<0.0, 1.0, 1.0 > = magenta

Green text seems to show up best, unless it's against a green background

Find the values for a 0-255 scale, then divide them by 255. (Or 256..not sure.. either one will get pretty damn close =P)

contains a list of literally 100's of labelled colour vectors, although most of these may well be overkill for floating text...
Still, worth knowing that such a list exists.

this link doesn't give you the color codes for things but it is extrmely useful for design since it list the complimentary colors. Just wanted to post it.

http://rgbchart.com/ This is a chart of the 3digit number for RGB. You would juse these in your texture tab on an object. This a a GREAT website. Every color.

To get the simple 1 digit number to use as your 3 choices for scripting text, you use the above 3digit numbers and divide, I think, by 255. I don't remember for sure if it is divide. Pretty sure it is. Can anyone help us out here to confirm,

It is divide, for certain, since it will give a number between 0 and 1, which is what you want for the color vector.

It is divide by 255. The LSL wiki page I cited above gives vector, RGB, and actually shows the color for a quite wide range of colors. When the wiki is up. Which sometimes it appears not to be *sigh*

The thread cited above is also useful, because it ties vector values to the color names you see frequently in notecards and menus in SL.

OK this might be a little late but the in-world color picker in the build menu's texture tab also gives the rgb value. just pick a nice color, divide those by 255 and you get the values you need.
