**The GUI layout is configurable inside** `guis.yml`!!

You need to have redischat.chatcolor

## **`/chatcolor <color>`**

#### Examples

<mark style="color:orange;">`/chatcolor #FA8072`</mark> (format #RRGGBB)

<mark style="color:orange;">`/chatcolor white`</mark> (all colors available [here](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html#color))

**/chatcolor** will create a placeholder named `%redischat_chat_color%` containing a color component

Take a look at [custom-placeholderapi-placeholders](https://emibergo.gitbook.io/redischat/unique-features/custom-placeholderapi-placeholders "mention") section to know more about RedisChat PAPI placeholders

You can put it before {message} inside formats section to color the text that follows

## Chatcolor reset

If the player doesn't have the permission to have the current color, (for example `redischat.chatcolor.blue`) the color will be reset on rejoin (in this case the player had the blue color and when it rejoins without the permission the color is set to "" (nothing)
