Problem with Sizing of Font

[wraith808]

A while ago, there was a guy that made his font bigger, and also red.  I'd always assumed that it was just him, but wanted to make the font in a post bigger.

[ size=12pt ][ color=red ]Default when clicking the size button[ /color ][ /size ]

Is there a reason it defaults to red when you click the font size button?

Is there a reason it defaults to red when you click the font size button?

the only reason is that there is no separate color button (because i don't want to encourage coloring!), so i thought i would just have the font size button insert a sample color code to remind you how to set colors.  but i guess i could remove that -- it doesn't sound like a very convincing reason when i say it out loud
