Posted on behalf of pof Alex. This is super cool/helpful.

So, uh, I've been asked about this oocly and figured I may as well toss it up here. If any admin would be so kind as to do like a HELP COLOR file, that would be excellent.

Colors can be used in the writing buffer. That applies to anything that uses a buffer (I think, anyway, so like IC journals in databooks, etc. can be colored) but is most pertinent to newsposts. Sadly, they can't be used to color regular emotes.

To use a color once inside the writing buffer, you append it with # and follow it with a single digit. 1-5 are going to be the most useful.

#1 dark red
#2 dark green (used for objects)
#3 dark yellow/brown
#4 dark blue
#5 dark violet (used for people)
#6 dark cyan (used for speech)

#0 puts you back to neutral white.

To use color codes in the buffer, just prefix the color code right before the relevant phrase. Example time!

You want to write this:
Some guy is hanging out here. He tells you, "Something amazing happened!"

And you want to color it like this:
Some guy is hanging out here. He tells you, "Something amazing happened!"

You would write this in your buffer:
#5Some guy #0is hanging out here. #5He #0tells #5you#0, #6"Something amazing happened!"#0

Simple, right?

Would someone be so kind as to pin this, maybe? I think it'd be useful!

Please remember to use these responsibly and refrain from projecting your own PC's opinions onto vNPCs. They're free to relay your opinion, but having a bunch of bar regulars call Joe a dumbass because you don't like him is not appropriate and will be looked on poorly.

There's also the "bold" series, which begins at #9. It follows the same pattern, so #9 is bold red, #A is bold green, #B is bold yellow (through to #F which is bold white).
