If you go to the bottom of the main page (logged in, of course), there is a description of what all the current colors are. It's right down there with how many people are currently online among other stats. I think newbs can handle scrolling down to look. Besides, if they ask, what better way to introduce them to the whole patron thing?
Newbie: "Hey... how did you get that nifty color?"
"I'm a patron"
Newbie: "what's a patron?"
"someone who is a financial contributor to help the forum out"
Newbie: "Really? How much does that cost?"
"You can give as little as fifty cents per month, if you'd like. And you can stop or suspend it at any time. It's really convenient and a nice way to help maintain the forums. Plus you get to pick out an awesome new color for your username."
Newbie: "Awesome! Got a link? I'd like to sign up!"
