I've cracked the code! After years of using AIM and a lot of trying to figure out just how to tell when you are going to be blinded by your buddy being neon in a chat room, I have cracked the code. It came about yesterday while I was being repeatedly knocked out of the AIM chat I was in with two friends. Each time I went back into the chat I was presented with new colors on their names. So, I chronicled the colors and through testing and watching and a couple of more chats I have determined that I now have the pattern of the AIM chat colors figured out!
If you use AIM and chat a good deal on it, then this might be something you have considered before yourself, so I present the AIM Chat Color Cycle for your reference.
There are 23 colors in the sequence, starting with Blue (#0000ff) as the color of the first person other than yourself that enters the chat room. From there the colors are assigned in order based on the entry of chatters into the room. The codes are as follows:
Blue#0000ff
Green#7fffd4
Salmon#fa8072
Gray#f5f5dc
Orange#ff7f50
Aqua#00ffff
Yellow#ffff00
Lt. Gray#a9a9a9
Green#006400
Brown#a52a2a
Orange#ff8c00
Gray#808080
Purple#800080
Lt. Green#008000
Saffron#ffd700
Purple#4b0082
Tan#f0e68c
Grey#e6e6fa
Pink#ff00ff
Navy#000080
Orange#ffa500
Pinkish#ffc0cb
Gray-brown#d2b48c
Note that the color names are just my best guess at colorations descriptions for what appears on my monitor, and also that for some reason the colors are slightly different looking in AIM chat from HTML pages. Not sure why. Mostly they're right, but the second color Green#7fffd4 shows up here to me as a pale pea green color, but in AIM chat it's more like a dark forest Green. Once the cycle reaches the end, it restarts at blue (#0000ff).
