Macro Replacements. (#3574)

* A preface to my madness

Travis failed one of my PR's because I copied old code
that used /red /blue /green.

Because of this, I am going to find and replace every
instance of it that I find.

Also this is a test commit to make sure I'm comitting
to the correct branch.

* /blue /green /red replacements

Dear god.

A slow and painful death from acid is more fun than this.

I wouldn't wish this torture on my worst enemy.
And this is only the beginning

* Replace part 2.

Time to fix the human error.

* Fixes mismatches

* Sets macro count to 220

One above the current number of macros in the code.

* Fixes last of the mismatches.

* Removes spaces, replaces \black

Removes spaces
Replaces \black in a few areas where seen
Replaces \bold with <B> </B> where seen

* Updating macro count again

* More fixes!

* Issues fixed! For real this time!

I swear!

* Fixing all the merge conflict files.
