# Chat color

**Permissions needed:**

* <mark style="color:orange;">`redischat.chatcolor`</mark> to execute /chatcolor and see the GUI<br>
* <mark style="color:orange;">`redischat.chatcolor.<chatcolor>`</mark> to use/see specific chat colors

### ChatColor GUI

{% code title="config.yml" %}

```yaml
# Enable or disable the chat color GUI
enableChatColorGUI: true
```

{% endcode %}

<figure><img src="/files/NRedwg52ZAk1kJiaAJp6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**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](/redischat/unique-features/custom-placeholderapi-placeholders.md) 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)
