# Color Codes

Color Codes allow you to customize text in supported commands and menus across the server. They can be used to add colors, styling, and line breaks to text such as [Player Warp broadcasts](/features/player/player-warps.md#broadcast), [furniture dyes](/features/player/cosmetics.md#furniture), [ChestShop holograms](/features/trading/chestshops.md#hologram), and more.

Color Codes use tag-style formatting. Place a tag before the text you want to format, and the formatting will apply to the following text.

```html
<yellow>Hello <blue>World</blue>!
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Color Codes are only available in fields that support formatted text. Some commands or menus may limit which tags can be used.
{% endhint %}

## Named Colors

Named colors include both Minecraft’s standard color names and a variety of custom color names. Add the color tag before the text you want to recolor.

```html
<yellow>Hello!
<red>Sale Today!
<blue>Visit my warp!
```

<table data-search="false"><thead><tr><th align="center">Vanilla Colors</th><th align="center">Custom Colors</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;black></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;fire></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;dark_blue></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;crimson></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;dark_green></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;rust></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;dark_aqua></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;tangerine></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;dark_red></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;dandelion></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;dark_purple></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;lime></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;gold></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;leaf></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;gray></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;olive></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;dark_gray></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;mint></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;blue></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;ice></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;green></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;sky></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;aqua></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;baby_blue></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;red></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;midnight></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;light_purple></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;indigo></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;yellow></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;royal_purple></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;white></code></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;violet></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;lavender></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;lilac></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;fuchsia></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;blush></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;beige></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;amaranth></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;brown></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;eggshell></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"></td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;smoke></code></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Hex Colors

Hex colors allow you to use a custom RGB color instead of one of the predefined colors. Hex colors must use the format:

```html
<#RRGGBB>
```

For example:

```html
<#00ff00>Bright green text!
<#ff66cc>Pink text!
<green><#ffaa00>Orange text!</#ffaa00> Back to green now
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Use a hex color picker website such as [color-hex.com](https://www.color-hex.com/) to find an exact `#RRGGBB` code
{% endhint %}

## Styles

Styles change the decoration of text without changing its color.

```html
<bold><gold>Important!</gold></bold>
<underlined><aqua>Click Here</aqua></underlined>
```

|   Decoration  |        Tag        |  Alias |
| :-----------: | :---------------: | :----: |
|      Bold     |      `<bold>`     |  `<b>` |
|     Italic    |     `<italic>`    |  `<i>` |
|   Underlined  |   `<underlined>`  |  `<u>` |
| Strikethrough | `<strikethrough>` | `<st>` |

## New Lines

The `<newline>` and `<br>` tags insert a line break in supported text fields.

```html
Line one<br>Line two
```

## Examples

<table><thead><tr><th width="199.5555419921875" align="center">Goal</th><th align="center">Example</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">Simple colored message</td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;yellow>Welcome to my warp!</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Multiple colors</td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;gold>New items &#x3C;green>restocked&#x3C;/green> today!</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Custom hex color</td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;#00ff00>Fresh stock available!</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Bold warning</td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;b>&#x3C;red>Limited Time!&#x3C;/red>&#x3C;/b></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Underlined highlight</td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;u>&#x3C;aqua>Click to visit&#x3C;/aqua>&#x3C;/u></code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Multi-line text</td><td align="center"><code>&#x3C;yellow>Shop Open&#x3C;br>&#x3C;gray>Restocked daily!</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.apexcobblemon.com/info/technical-guides/color-codes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
