Synopsis
set 256-color
Description
With color, it is easier to distinguish between room descriptions and creatures, as well as any other text received through the game. It is recommended that you experience Materia Magica in its full color glory, but if you are having problems such as a slow or lagged connection, it can help to turn it off as it reduces the number of characters sent by the server to you.
To turn on 16 colors, just type "set color on" To turn on 256 colors, just type "set 256-color on"
(If the colors used for 16 and 256 look the same to you, either your client is not capable of 256 colors, or you have not turned on 256 colors using the command listed above)
In addition to normal colors set by the system, players may use |z and any of the following 3 digit codes to change the colors of their text:
016 022 028 034 040 046 082 076 070 064 058 052 017 023 029 035 041 047 083 077 071 065 059 053 018 024 030 036 042 048 084 078 072 066 060 054 019 025 031 037 043 049 085 079 073 067 061 055 020 026 032 038 044 050 086 080 074 068 062 056 021 027 033 039 045 051 087 081 075 069 063 057 093 099 105 111 117 123 159 153 147 141 135 129 092 098 104 110 116 122 158 152 146 140 134 128 091 097 103 109 115 121 157 151 145 139 133 127 090 096 102 108 114 120 156 150 144 138 132 126 088 095 101 107 113 119 155 149 143 137 131 125 089 094 100 106 112 118 154 148 142 136 130 124 160 166 172 178 184 190 226 220 214 208 202 196 161 167 173 179 185 191 227 221 215 209 203 197 162 168 174 180 186 192 228 222 216 210 204 198 163 169 175 181 187 193 229 223 217 211 205 199 164 170 176 182 188 194 230 224 218 212 206 200 165 171 177 183 189 195 231 225 219 213 207 201

Color use in public channels (such as dream, yell, and shout) is limited to 3 color codes. Titles are limited to a maximum of 5 color codes, and descriptions are limited to a maximum of 100 color codes (although this should in no way encourage you to use them all). As with most everything, color works best in moderation.
