So I'm having a bit of an issue getting my color trigger to wrap to the next line. It will color the first line, but not any of the lines that follow. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, I use the same trigger on another character, in the same game, and the colors line wrap just fine. (It's not the hex code that affects it, since I'v tried using 'deeppink' to see if that's the issue, and there's still no line wrap.) Please help?

This appears to be working fine for me in 3.32 Looking at the think message you have above that is colored correctly the second and third lines are indented. The tell message isn't though. Can you paste the output from the script debugger, with all options enabled in the Messages menu, when you send the test tell in code tags? Also this is happening in what version of CMUD?

Looking at the mud output, it appears to me that for the 'tell' command, the mud itself is wrapping the line, while for the 'think' command, the mud is not wrapping, so the wrapping is handled by Cmud. If this is the case, then the first thing to do is see whether you can turn off the line-wrapping in the mud. Unfortunately, I've seen muds that have a linewrap option, but still internally wrap certain kinds of output. :-( If you can't change the mud behavior, you will have to write a trigger that will catch the successive lines and properly color them. I don't see any mud prompts in your output. Does the mud send prompts? If so, you should be able to make a multistate trigger that catches the successive lines after the initial 'tell' output, and a prompt trigger that resets the state of the multistate trigger when the prompt comes.
