When you finger people, you will sometimes notice that they have curious colours throughout their plans and projects. Colours are created by using a special series of characters, these are % and ^.

For example, if I wanted my project to say, in bright red, 'Eat Lots of Sausages!', I would use the command:

alias .project %^BOLD%^RED%^Eat Lots of Sausages!%^RESET%^ The '%^RESET%^' tells the MUD to stop using the colour %^BOLD%^RED%^. This is so a person's screen isn't filled with yucky bold red spam.

The available colours to use via this syntax are the generic ANSI code colours:

The Plain Colours:

magenta

cyan
