change the color of personal message

Is [c=#278383]personal message[/c] valid only for the computers that
installed MSN Plus to view?
Is there any method to make the change of a personal message's color
visible, provided others' computer having not any 3rd party program
installed?

Unfortunately no, there is no way of customising your personal message when
displayed on anothers computer without them having a 3rd party application
installed such as MSN Plus.

Hi,

Not to be anal, but for those searching, the product is called Messenger Plus Live. "MSN
Plus" was a tier of the MSN internet service (now MSN Premium), but it's still in the
documentation and causes confusion.

I find that the converstation messages sent that colored using Messenger
Plus(the one not using code) take effect to my contacts who have not
installed it. Do you have any idea about the algorithm it uses?

If you're not using "the code" ([b]), then I assume you mean the updated colour selection box
that allows you to choose more colours.

There's no magic here, the protocol allows the colour value expressed as hex BGR (blue,
green, red). So, the reverse of HTML's RGB. Messenger itself takes any colour value, it's
just the default UI that doesn't let you.
