I was browsing HF, when I looked at the "Who's Online" list, and a user with a strange name had a dark-green color on their name. I don't know if its just me, but it appears to change the name color in the "Who's Online" list and in sections around the forum. I've provided some picture below for better understanding.
I don't know if its me, or a myBB error.

Don't know if I should move this to the "other" support section, I think its fine here but if someone in power wants it moved, that's fine.
Not certain but I suspect it might be an ASCII character thing.
It's actually just an optical illusion which makes it look more dark. Both are the same color. Zoom in and you can see that, or inspect element and check their CSS attributes.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I didn't really know how I could test it.
I'll wait for more replies to see if other people are getting it, I know that - Sam - isn't getting it.

It looks just like that on my screen (The same as your screenshot). Look, on your side (Assuming you have Google Chrome), click on his name and press Inspect Element. On the right you can see that the CSS color attribute is the same as all other L33t members. However, at certain level of size, due to the spacing, the color seems different.
The user went offline, but I can almost assure you it is displaying the proper color, it just looks odd. Just wait till he comes back on and check for yourself. 😉
It also appears normal for me, but that SS is weird.
It is also normal for me.

When I simply replace another username who is l33t with his name I get this:

I can't tell if it is as dark as yours, but it does seem to be off a little. I think he might have some special character. I simply went to his profile, and copied the name then pasted. Not sure why it looks like that.

-Ty It's an optical illusion. It's impossible that the color would change depending on the username. Check the CSS attributes as another user posted.
Weird one: #99FF00
Normal: #99FF00
Ok now I'm baffled.
I told you it was an illusion. Nothing more. If you zoom in significantly, you can see they are the same color.

But when you compare his and mine, his looks closer and more round. I might just be zoomed in more than he is.

I see this too, how peculiar. Perhaps he updated his username to that or he tried changing it to something else and got that as an error.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS MEMBER
The name appears to be normal for me.
The usernames are not colored when you're browing forums.
