Minecraft codes colors or Minecraft codes formatting, allow any player to add flowers and format text in every possible way right in Minecraft. Color codes from &0-9 to &a-f. Add them before your text. Messages from players may contain color codes that allow you to add color to your sentences.
Colors and formatting codes
An ampersand (&) followed by a hexadecimal number in messages signals the client to switch colors when displaying text. Alternatively, text can be formatted using the & character 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 clear 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:

In HTML, the color is specified in one of two ways: using a hexadecimal code and by the name of some colors. The most commonly used method is based on the hexadecimal system, as the most universal.
Hexadecimal colors
HTML uses hexadecimal numbers to specify colors. The hexadecimal system, unlike the decimal system, is based, as its name implies, on the number 16. The numbers will be the following: 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. In table. 6.1 shows the correspondence between decimal and hexadecimal numbers.
Numbers greater than 15 in the hexadecimal system are formed by combining two numbers into one (Table 6.2). For example, the number 255 in decimal corresponds to the number FF in hexadecimal.
To avoid confusion in the definition of the number system, the hexadecimal number is preceded by the pound sign #, for example #aa69cc. In this case, the case does not matter, so it is permissible to write #F0F0F0 or #f0f0f0.
A typical color used in HTML is as follows.
Here, the background color of the web page is set to #FA8E47. The pound sign # in front of a number means it is in hexadecimal. The first two digits (FA) define the red component of the color, the third to fourth digits (8E) the green component, and the last two digits (47) the blue component. The end result is this color.
FA | + | 8E | + | 47 | = | FA8E47 |
Each of the three colors - red, green and blue - can take values from 00 to FF, which eventually forms 256 shades. Thus, the total number of colors can be 256x256x256 = 16.777.216 combinations. The color model based on the red, green and blue components is called RGB (red, green, blue; red, green, blue). This model is additive (from add - add), in which the addition of all three components forms white.
To make it easier to navigate in hexadecimal colors, take into account some rules.
- If the values of the color components are the same (for example: #D6D6D6), then a gray tint will be obtained. The higher the number, the lighter the color, and the values change from #000000 (black) to #FFFFFF (white).
- A bright red color is formed if the red component is made maximum (FF), and the rest of the components are set to zero. The color with the value #FF0000 is the reddest possible red tint. The same is true for green (#00FF00) and blue (#0000FF).
- Yellow (#FFFF00) is obtained by mixing red with green. This is clearly seen on the color wheel (Fig. 6.1), which presents the primary colors (red, green, blue) and complementary or complementary. These include yellow, cyan, and violet (also called magenta). In general, any color can be obtained by mixing colors adjacent to it. So, cyan (#00FFFF) is obtained by combining blue and green.
Rice. 6.1. Color circle
Colors based on hexadecimal values do not have to be empirically selected. For this purpose, a graphic editor that can work with different color models, such as Adobe Photoshop, is suitable. On fig. 6.2 shows a window for choosing a color in this program, the line circles the resulting hexadecimal value of the current color. You can copy and paste it into your code.

Web Colors
If you set the color quality of the monitor to 8 bits (256 colors), then the same color can be displayed differently in different browsers. This has to do with the way graphics are rendered when the browser is working with its own palette and cannot show a color that it doesn't have in the palette. In this case, the color is replaced by a combination of pixels of other, close to it, colors that imitate the given one. In order for the color to remain the same in different browsers, a palette of so-called web colors was introduced. Web colors are those colors, for each component of which - red, green and blue - one of six values \u200b\u200bis set - 0 (00), 51 (33), 102 (66), 153 (99), 204 (CC), 255 (FF). The hexadecimal value of this component is indicated in brackets. The total number of colors from all possible combinations gives 6x6x6 - 216 colors. An example web color is #33FF66.
The main feature of web color is that it is displayed the same in all browsers. At the moment, the relevance of web colors is very small due to the improvement in the quality of monitors and the expansion of their capabilities.
Colors by name
In order not to remember a collection of numbers, you can use the names of commonly used colors instead. In table. 6.3 shows the names of popular color names.
Color name | Color | Description | Hex value |
---|---|---|---|
black | Black | #000000 | |
blue | Blue | #0000FF | |
fuchsia | Light purple | #FF00FF | |
gray | Dark grey | #808080 | |
green | Green | #008000 | |
lime | light green | #00FF00 | |
maroon | Dark red | #800000 | |
navy | Navy blue | #000080 | |
olive | Olive | #808000 | |
purple | Dark violet | #800080 | |
red | Red | #FF0000 | |
Silver | light gray | #C0C0C0 | |
teal | blue green | #008080 | |
white | White | #FFFFFF | |
yellow | Yellow | #FFFF00 |
It doesn't matter how you specify the color - by its name or by using hexadecimal numbers. In their effect, these methods are equal. Example 6-1 shows how to set the background and text colors of a web page.
Example 6.1. Background and text color
Sample text
In this example, the background color is set using the bgcolor attribute of the tag
, and the color of the text through the text attribute. For variety, the value of the text attribute is set to a hexadecimal number, and bgcolor is set to the reserved keyword teal . 11/28/14 11.1KUnfortunately, it is not yet possible to display taste sensations on the site. But this can be fully compensated with the help of colors. After all, html colors allow you to display any of the millions of shades. So that " colored pencils” in his set is much more than seven.
color scheme in html
In html, color can be specified in several formats:
1. As a hexadecimal value - the code specified in the hexadecimal system is used. Such color codes in html consist of three pairs of hexadecimal numbers. Each pair is responsible for the saturation of the hue with its primary color:
- The first numeric pair is responsible for the red color;
- The second pair is for the content of the green color;
- The latter is for the content of the blue color.
At the beginning of the code (before the numbers), a hash mark is placed. This is the hexadecimal color code. In addition to numbers from 1 to 9, this number system uses letters of the Latin alphabet (A, B, C, D, E, F).
For example, white color code in html would look like #FFFFFF:
2. Keyword - Right now html supports about 147 keywords. But not all of these words are unique. Some of them refer to the same color shade.
Gray is represented by two keywords: gray and gray . Their hexadecimal code (HEX ) is given by the same value #808080 .
Example :
#808080
3. In RGB format - this color encoding in html is based on the use of three values set in the range from 0 to 255. Each of them determines the saturation of the hue with one of the primary colors:
- R - red (red);
- G - green (green);
- B - blue (blue).
The color number in RGB format is written as follows: rgb(0, 210, 100).
background-color:rgb(100,186,43)
4. In RGBA format - it is an advanced RGB format, where the fourth value specifies the transparency of the color in the form of a decimal fraction from 0 to 1.
Usage example:
background-color:rgba(100,86,143,0.2)
background-color:rgba(100,86,143,0.5)
background-color:rgba(100,86,143,0.8)
background-color:rgba(100,86,143,1)
html color tables and color generators
With such a wide range of color setting formats, it is easy to get confused. Therefore, a special color table was invented. In it, to 147 key names of color shades, codes of correspondence are given in all major color representation standards. Additionally, each field is equipped with a bar for visual color matching. One of these tables is presented on the site colorscheme.ru:
But even with the help of such a structuring of correspondence, the selection of the desired shade can be difficult. And it’s not a fact that there is the right one in the color code table.
To get around this barrier and make it as easy as possible to select the right shade, interactive web services have been developed. Their user interface may differ slightly from each other.
On the html-color-codes.info site, the color generator looks like this:
And within the color-picker.appsmaster.co service, this tool is implemented a little differently:
The saturation of each color in the generator is set using special sliders. Visually, the hue is displayed by the color of the frame and rectangle on the left side. At the bottom, 3 fields display the color code in the main formats.
But the color generator is available not only on specialized sites. Almost all graphic editors are equipped with a similar tool. For example, Photoshop:
Color Safety
And it was a long time ago, back in the era of video cards that support only 256 colors. In those days, operating systems could display only a certain number of eight-bit shades without distortion.
Then the great table of safe colors was bred. It indicated 216 shades that could be displayed without distortion in any of the browsers of that time. And to this day this great manuscript» is still available on some resources:
Everything has changed in our time. Therefore, all safety rules when working with color in html are completely canceled. After all, modern computer hardware supports more than 16 million different shades. And 216 safe colors have sunk into oblivion.
