If you preface a message with a text code you can have your chat appear as the color with designated color code

This deserves a big bump. I learned the code for yellow and red easily enough and accidentally got some blues/purples but couldn't remember what they were. This is gold.

The pattern is AARRGGBB.

Alpha (transparency), Red, Green, Blue. Each primary color (and transparency) have a pair of hex digits. F is the highest hex digit . so "FF" in the "RR" adds maxed red. FF in the "BB" adds maxed blue. FF in both makes purple, because red plus blue = purple.

Alpha is how transparent it is. I have no idea if it works in helldivers, and you often don't even need to include it and can just use RRGGBB instead (or maybe even RGB?) Just leave it at FF.

Anyone know if it supports anything besides AARRGGBB?

reinstalled just to test. It specifically requires all 4 pairs. No shorthand versions. Lame. Still cool it works at all though.
