Your problem was that your " was outside the brackets also use the dm tags for code.

mob/verb/smile()
    world << "<font color=red>R<font color=blue>E<font color=white>A<font color=red>D</font> THE DM GUIDE!"


Which would look like

mob/verb/smile()
world << "<font color=red>R<font color=blue>E<font color=white>A<font color=red>D</font> THE DM GUIDE!

DM GUIDE READ IT.
