Well, first of all, now that you're living in the U.S., you need to start spelling "colour" as "color".

why? Just because a nation of 250,000,000 people want to spell it wrong why should I?

Ok now I just need to know the correct values...
In the interests of saving time does anyone know values for a nice bright red, blue and yellow?
Don`t worry about the red...(see above)

I assume you're using the HTML tag to set the color, but you seem to be including the size modifier, which isn't needed.
To get different colors just do this:
This text is red.
Here's a short list of colors (many more are actually available in most browsers):
    beige       black       blue        brown       coral
cyan gold gray green ivory
khaki lavender magenta maroon navy
navyblue orange orchid pink plum
purple red salmon sienna skyblue
slateblue slategray snow tan violet
wheat white yellow
You can prefix "light", "medium" and "dark" in front of many colors. Some colors will give you different shades by appending a digit from 1 to 4, eg, red1, red2, red3 and red4.
You can also specify a much wider variety of custom colors using the "#" form using hexidecimal, ie, color=#7f83b9. There are three pairs of digits corresponding to red/green/blue as #RRGGBB. White is #ffffff, black is #000000.
