CARET-COLOR

You can use colors in two different ways: (a) color scheme types and (b) raw colors. Note: Always remember to end your colored text with a `n to change the color back to normal.

(a) Coloring using Color Scheme Types

You can use caret-coloring to specify specific colors for parts of your text. The syntax is:

^&cCOLOR-TYPE&

Example:

^&cwounded&Ouch!`n looks like Ouch!

(b) Coloring using Raw Colors

The syntax for using raw colors is:

^c[!]foreground color characterbackground color character

The color characters you can use are in the     k = black
table to the right.  If the foreground color    r = red
character is in upper case, the color will be   g = green
bold.  If you specify a "!" then it will        y = yellow
be blinking.  For example:                      b = blue
                                                p = purple
^cYk            (means bold yellow on black)    c = cyan
^c!rg           (means blinking red on green)   w = white
^cR_            (bold red on same background)  _ = transparent

Coloring using color scheme types is usually the best way to color because you are guaranteed that the colors will match nicely with whatever color scheme the person is currently using. However, sometimes using raw colors is needed (like if you want to make a blue lake).
