No white text or other light colors on Craigslist
Something I just discovered: You cannot use white text (or other light colored text) using HTML FONT tags on Craigslist!
If you try to use something like color="white" color="#FFFFFF"> in a FONT HTML Tag, it will simply be removed from your code.
Other font colors like "RED" are supported. A little testing shows that if the color is #CC____ or darker, it works fine. Otherwise, nope.
Probably this is to subvert some businesses that were hiding keywords (white text on a white background) to improve their ads coming up in google. Unfortunately, it makes using darker backgrounds in Craigslist ads sort of Iffy.

Not really. Try this code and it will allow you to use white color.
< font color="lavenderblush" font size="1px">Text that you want here.
(remove the space before font)
Worked perfect! thanks :)
Thank you to the first commenter. :)
Thanks to the first person!
Thanks! Very helpful. (The space between the first "<" and the "f" needs to be deleted.)
Light goldenrod Yellow works great also...

You are the Best thank you so much
I could use the "lavender blush" color and light gray, etc, on the CL "Services" page to help disguise keywords, but the "musicians" page would only let me use the basic colors. I wonder why.
Thanks This Worked great !
