Notes

Youtube's added some new stuff, and now you can add color to your videos, though on the page they give you a few ugly blues, reds and grays, but this shows you how to use any color. woo

On Myspace

Your code prolly looks kinda like this, either way there's two URLs, those are what we're working with. The options you have are
&color1=0xffffff
&color2=0x00aaff
&border=1
Of course, you can change the colors to whatever, but that's what I used here, and in the screenshot at the bottom of the page.
(I cleaned up the code a bit to be easier to read, but you get what I'm doing, right?

<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FIyL8ti3SME&rel=1&color1=0xffffff&border=1"> </param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FIyL8ti3SME&rel=1&color2=0x00aaff&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">
</embed> </object>

Note

You can take the &border=1 out, that simply makes the colors more visible

On Skem9

Same as above, but using skem9 [youtube] code, and there's only one URL.

Add this at the end of the URL:

&color1=0xffffff&color2=0x00aaff&border=1

There's more info on skem9 youtube videos here
