Formatting Color Coding Help (Signs and chat)

I read the wiki but I am still confused how to do this.

I even looked on Google for more help and that didn't enlighten me any further.

I tried to do more searches (re-worded my search to "Minecraft signs /color") and got these links:

http://www.curse.com/bukkit-plugins/minecraft/chat-color-tags
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/chat-color-tags/
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/signcolors/

However I thought it might be best to just ask on here since I don't actually know which plugin you are using for this.

Do I put the --'s in as well?

Can I get an example so I know how to do it? Also is it just for signs or in chat as well?

Other colors are just like this, only replace &a with other letter or number

for a sign, to make it Minty Green, type on a line:

&aThis is green

When you hit done, it will look like:

This is green

You don't need the --'s in there. If I wanted to make the sign gold and say PenguinDJ, I'd write "&6PenguinDJ. This wiki page gives an in-depth guide on using color codes.

Only Senior Staff+ can use color codes in chat.

you can only use color codes on signs for example &a is lime green you got to put the & mark next to a letter or number.

In regular chat, but regular players can still have custom colored res messages, rts messages, etc. in chat

Let's say you want to type on a sign "katie's restaurant" in yellow. here's what you would do:

&ekatie's &erestaurant
I believe it would show up yellow on the sign

Also if you want to use more than 1 color, you can do something similar to this:

&a Bro im &b Infinite

It will look like this:

Bro im Infinite

Res messages, yes, but color codes cannot be used in message signs. I've brought it up to Staff that that page needs to be updated to reflect res messages a few days ago. (I can't change it; the page is locked.)

I've seen it done, go to smp2 WCG_Elite's spawn res. He has one there.

Do you mean this message sign? I just tried it with no luck.

He did use a book to put colored text in chat, yes. You obviously tried it wrong.

Thanks everyone! I was able to make my sign in colours! Thank you so much!

Mayoman100 wrote a whole book of every command on emc, so you could buy one and you wont have that problem anymore.

(he is low on stock though)

Do you happen to know which page you looked at (if any)?

I'd like to know why this didn't work for you so that we might be able to improve on that. So; was it because you couldn't find the right page or because the page was confusing?

Also; was it this page by any chance?

Hope you can answer because these things can really help us out to improve on the wiki even further. Thanks in advance!
