Hotmail has his own color panel???

This is realy wierd! i made a script to send emails using the php mail() function. every thing is working nicely. but when i started useing html in my mails i found out that hotmail dosn't give a f*ck about the colors.

here is a screenshot: I made a small test file to be sure, i viewed the mail in firefox and IE but its still not what it has be. could it be that hotmail has his own color panel?? they only show tekst in green or blue :o

yeah it sure is! i found out alitte more but i'm not sure this has something to do with the fact that its not showing the correct colors:

 <tr><td>
<div>
<font color="\~#FF0000\~">what the hell</font><br>
<font color="\~#FFFF00\~">this is not yellow</font>
<font color="#000000"></div>

</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr></ta```

thats a piece from the source withs holds the email.
i don't know what there are \~ around the color and even stranger, the colors are correct in the source code !:o
