This might seem farfetched but I am desperately confused now. The word colored is in the colors of pink and violet. Hippie is one of the few staff that begin with the letter H, but he is the only staff that starts with the letter H and has a pink username. If you go to the premium page as well, he is shown in the eight picture from the bottom. I might just be putting nonsense together and once the solution is found my feeling of stupidity will be immense.

Finally after almost an hour and a half i have come to the answer.

Took a crack at it, found something so yea, crossing my fingers haha.

Didn't read any reply's til after I finished so feeling good about my answer, and only took really 10 min of thought if you stayed on track.

DeluxeHazard wrote Clues that I have assessed so far which might be right or wrong:

The letter H must be important and necessary in finding the answer due to the first clue.
The second clue links to the staff page and the only staff members that starts with the letter H are hippie, Halo4, and Hilton.
He also refers to the premium page and the only word that is bolded and starts with the letter H on that page is hangout.
The word colored is now changed to the colors of pink to purple. Maybe a user with a name of that color or somebody with the Wizard badge since it consists of similar colors.

*Thank you to those who pointed out other staff members.

im going to go with this

and say Hippie

As he is in a pic on the premium page
