Is there a way to make a certain groups usernames a specific color instead of the "Normal" blue, maybe have it work like the default moderator color?

Not without som modifications. The easiest way is to add a small hack that changes the color in the user table when they are added to the group, in the same way that the moderator color gets set.

Use this query:
Code
<br />            $query = "<br />             UPDATE {$config['tbprefix']}Users<br />             SET U_Color  = '$Color_q'<br />             WHERE  U_Number = '$updateuser'<br />            ";<br />

It's a table in the database. To do what I'm suggesting you'll have to do some changes to the file admin/dochangeugroups.php to make it work.

Something like this, find these lines:
Code
<br />      if ($HTTP_POST_VARS[$Id]) {<br />         if (!ereg("-$Id-",$Groups)) {<br />            $Groups .= "$Id-";<br />         }<br />      }<br />

Change them into this:
Code
<br />      if ($HTTP_POST_VARS[$Id]) {<br />         if (!ereg("-$Id-",$Groups)) {<br />            $Groups .= "$Id-";<br />            $Groups .= "$Id-";<br />            // Set the number to the group to alter color<br />            $colorgroup = 5;<br />            // The color to set<br />            $colorcode = "#FF6600";<br />            if ( $Id == "$colorgroup" ) {<br />                $query = "UPDATE {$config['tbprefix']}Users SET U_Color = '$colorcode' WHERE  U_Number = '$User'";<br />                $dbh -> do_query($query);<br />            }<br />         }<br />      }<br />

Haven't tried the code, but it should update the username color when adding a user to the selected group. The color will stay the same if they are removed though, some more code will have to be added for that.
