# Colour (color) codes

You can use colour codes anywhere the plugin accepts a message (plugin messages, display items, and in task configurations themselves).

The following table shows the colour capabilities of specific server versions:

|              | Before 1.16 | 1.16+ |
|--------------|-------------|-------|
| Colour Codes | ✔️          | ✔️    |
| Hexadecimal  | ❌           | ✔️    |

## Colour codes
The plugin will automatically translate colour codes from '&' to '§' for you.

| Bold          | `&l`      | -              |
| Strikethrough | `&m`      | -              |
| Underline     | `&n`      | -              |
| Italic        | `&o`      | -              |
| Reset         | `&r`      | -              |

## Hexadecimal colour
For compatible Minecraft versions, the plugin will also translate hex colour codes for you.

You can include a hex colour code as you would with a normal colour code: `&#<hex colour code>`. 

{: .important }
The `#` symbol indicates a hexadecimal colour code. These must be exactly six characters long.

For example, the following messages are identical:
```
&cThis is a red message.

&#FF5555This is a red message.
```
