Colors
Although any player can call /Colors to see this list, only players with UseColorCodes permission can use them. Color codes can be used in chat messages, command parameters (e.g. kick reasons or world greetings), /Rules files, announcements.txt, greeting.txt, as well as in code. Minecraft can display text in 16 different colors.
