Minecraft Codes colors, or Minecraft codes formatting, allow any player to add flowers and format text in every possible way directly in Minecraft. Color codes from &0-9 - to &a-f. Add them before your text. Messages from players can contain color codes that allow you to add color to your sentences.
Colors and formatting codes
The ampersand sign (&) followed by a hexadecimal number in messages signals the client to switch colors when displaying text. Additionally, text can be formatted with an & followed by a letter. You can add different colors to books, command blocks, server name, server description (motd), world names, signs, and even player names.
It's very easy to format your text in configs or in game using the color chart below. &r is used to reset all codes, i.e. &mAAA&rBBB will be displayed as AAA BBB.
We present a table of existing color codes in Minecraft for your convenience:

Hexadecimal numbers are used to specify colors. The hexadecimal system, unlike the decimal system, is based, as its name suggests, on the number 16. The numbers will be as follows: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C , D, E, F. Numbers from 10 to 15 are replaced by Latin letters. Numbers greater than 15 in the hexadecimal system are formed by combining two numbers into one. For example, the number 255 in decimal corresponds to the number FF in hexadecimal. To avoid confusion in determining the number system, a hash symbol # is placed before the hexadecimal number, for example #666999. Each of the three colors - red, green and blue - can take values from 00 to FF. Thus, the color symbol is divided into three components #rrggbb, where the first two symbols indicate the red component of the color, the middle two - green, and the last two - blue. It is allowed to use the abbreviated form #rgb, where each character should be doubled. Thus, the entry #fe0 should be regarded as #ffee00.

Using RGB
| Internet Explorer | Chrome | Opera | Safari | Firefox | Android | iOS |
| 5.0+ | 1.0+ | 3.5+ | 1.3+ | 1.0+ | 1.0+ | 1.0+ |
You can define color using the red, green, and blue values in decimal terms. Each of the three color components takes a value from 0 to 255. It is also permissible to specify the color as a percentage, with 100% corresponding to the number 255. First, specify the rgb keyword, and then specify the color components in parentheses, separated by commas, for example rgb(255 , 128, 128) or rgb(100%, 50%, 50%).
RGBA
| Internet Explorer | Chrome | Opera | Safari | Firefox | Android | iOS |
| 9.0+ | 1.0+ | 10.0+ | 3.1+ | 3.0+ | 2.1+ | 2.0+ |
The RGBA format is similar in syntax to RGB, but includes an alpha channel that specifies the element's transparency. A value of 0 is fully transparent, 1 is opaque, and an intermediate value like 0.5 is semi-transparent.
RGBA was added to CSS3, so CSS code must be validated against this version. It should be noted that the CSS3 standard is still under development and some features may change. For example, a color in RGB format added to the background-color property is validated, but one added to the background property is no longer valid. At the same time, browsers quite correctly understand the color for both properties.
HSL
| Internet Explorer | Chrome | Opera | Safari | Firefox | Android | iOS |
| 9.0+ | 1.0+ | 9.6+ | 3.1+ | 3.0+ | 2.1+ | 2.0+ |
The name of the HSL format is derived from the combination of the first letters Hue (hue), Saturate (saturation) and Lightness (lightness). Hue is the color value on the color wheel (Fig. 1) and is given in degrees. 0° corresponds to red, 120° to green, and 240° to blue. The hue value can vary from 0 to 359.
Rice. 1. Color wheel
Saturation is the intensity of a color and is measured as a percentage from 0% to 100%. A value of 0% indicates no color and a shade of gray, 100% is the maximum value for saturation.
Lightness specifies how bright the color is and is specified as a percentage from 0% to 100%. Low values make the color darker, and high values make it lighter; extreme values of 0% and 100% correspond to black and white.
HSLA
| Internet Explorer | Chrome | Opera | Safari | Firefox | Android | iOS |
| 9.0+ | 1.0+ | 10.0+ | 3.1+ | 3.0+ | 2.1+ | 2.0+ |
The HSLA format is similar in syntax to HSL, but includes an alpha channel to specify the element's transparency. A value of 0 is fully transparent, 1 is opaque, and an intermediate value like 0.5 is semi-transparent.
RGBA, HSL, and HSLA color values are added to CSS3, so please check your code for version validity when using these formats.

Hexadecimal RGB color values
Methods of describing and processing color differ from each other in what final representation they are intended for. Let us compare, for example, the representation of colors for printing and for computer monitors. In the first case, the basis is taken white the color of the paper on which three primary colors are subsequently applied: blue, purple And yellow. Mixing with each other and with the white color of paper in different proportions, these three primary colors give different color shades, except for pure black, or in the complete absence of paints they give white paper. If we add black color to them, we get CMYK-a method of transmitting color when the required color is obtained by subtracting the missing colors from white.
In the second case, the basis is taken black the color of the monitor screen, each cell of which glows in one of three colors: red-red, green-green and blue-blue. Then, in the complete absence of any glow, we get a pure black screen color, and any of the required colors is given by the ratio of each of the three colors. In this case we will get RGB-method of color transmission. Primary colors can range from 0
before 255
, or from 0%
before 100%
, or can be represented as a hexadecimal value. In the figure below you can see the results of mixing primary colors.
The hexadecimal number system, unlike the decimal number system, has not ten digits, but sixteen - hence the name. Accordingly, there can only be non-repeating variants of combinations of two digits - 256 , to continue the series of numbers after 9 letters from A before F, therefore, the series will look like this -
| 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F. |
In this case, the color is specified by three hexadecimal numbers, each of which consists of two digits. The first number determines the intensity red colors, medium- green, last thing- blue colors. All numbers can take values in the range from 00 before FF(from 0 to 255). For example: green color is given as #00FF00, red - like #FF0000, blue - like #0000FF, white - like #FFFFFF, complete absence of color or black is given as #000000 .
In the form below you can specify any hexadecimal values for each of the three colors and see the result of mixing them by clicking in the output field.
Examples of some hexadecimal RGB color values: gradations of red, blue and green.

Using a safe color palette
Unfortunately, on different platforms, with different system settings, correct color reproduction is a problem. The thing is that the browser always tries to adjust the color palette of the document to the system settings and monitor capabilities, by independently mixing colors and replacing them. As a result, sometimes the user does not see exactly what the webmaster wanted to show him. A way out of this situation was found in the use of a palette, each color of which is guaranteed to be rendered equally by all browsers on different platforms. This is the so-called guaranteed palette, also called safe palette. This palette includes colors whose color components take the following values: 00 ,33 ,66 ,99 , CC,FF, in all possible ways 216 their combinations.

In HTML, color can be specified in three ways:
Setting a color in HTML by its name
Some colors can be specified by their name, using the color name in English as the value. The most common keywords: black, white, red, green, blue, etc.:
Text color – red
The most popular colors of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard:
| Color | Name | Color | Name | Color | Name | Color | Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | Gray | Silver | White | ||||
| Yellow | Lime | Aqua | Fuchsia | ||||
| Red | Green | Blue | Purple | ||||
| Maroon | Olive | Navy | Teal |

Specifying Color Using RGB
When displaying different colors on a monitor, the RGB palette is used as a basis. Any color is obtained by mixing three basic ones: R - red, G - green, B - blue. The brightness of each color is given by one byte and can therefore take values from 0 to 255. For example, RGB(255,0,0) is displayed as red since red is set to its highest value (255) and the rest are set to 0 You can also set the color as a percentage. Each parameter indicates the brightness level of the corresponding color. For example: the values rgb(127, 255, 127) and rgb(50%, 100%, 50%) will set the same medium green color:
Example: Specifying Color Using RGB

rgb(50%, 100%, 50%)
rgb(127, 255, 127)
rgb(50%, 100%, 50%)
Set color by hexadecimal value
Values R G B can also be specified using hexadecimal (HEX) color values in the form: #RRGGBB where RR (red), GG (green) and BB (blue) are hexadecimal values from 00 to FF (same as decimal 0-255) . The hexadecimal system, unlike the decimal system, is based, as its name suggests, on the number 16. The hexadecimal system uses the following signs: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F. Here the numbers from 10 to 15 are replaced by Latin letters. Numbers greater than 15 in the hexadecimal system are represented by combining two characters into one value. For example, the highest number 255 in decimal corresponds to the highest FF value in hexadecimal. Unlike the decimal system, a hexadecimal number is preceded by a hash symbol. # , for example, #FF0000 is shown as red because red is set to its highest value (FF) and the rest of the colors are set to their minimum value (00). Signs after the hash symbol # You can type in both uppercase and lowercase. The hexadecimal system allows you to use the abbreviated form #rgb, where each character is equivalent to double. Thus, the entry #f7O should be regarded as #ff7700.

Color codes (background) by saturation and hue.
Color codes in CSS are used to specify colors. Typically, color codes or color values are used to set the color for either the foreground color of an element (e.g. text color, link color) or the background color of an element (background color, block color). They can also be used to change the color of a button, border, marker, hover, and other decorative effects.
You can specify your color values in various formats. The following table lists all possible formats:
The listed formats are described in more detail below.
CSS Colors - Hex Codes
Hexadecimal color code is a six-digit representation of color. The first two digits (RR) represent the red value, the next two represent the green value (GG), and the last two represent the blue value (BB).
CSS Colors - Short Hex Codes
Short hex color code is a shorter form of six-character notation. In this format, each digit is repeated to produce an equivalent six-digit color value. For example: #0F0 becomes #00FF00.
The hexadecimal value can be taken from any graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop, Core Draw, etc.
Each hexadecimal color code in CSS will be preceded by a hash sign "#". Below are examples of using hexadecimal notations.
CSS Colors - RGB Values
RGB value is a color code that is set using the rgb() property. This property takes three values: one each for red, green, and blue. The value can be an integer, from 0 to 255, or a percentage.
Note: Not all browsers support the rgb() color property, so it is not recommended to use it.
Below is an example showing multiple colors using RGB values.
