To keep this simple I've only included the first 10 levels, which has every instance of the problems I've been having, what I am trying to do is find all percentages in my spells list and color code it, = 100% would be gold, >= 75% would be white, and < 50% would be red, I've got all that worked out, the only problem I am having is capturing multiple values on the same line.

Any thoughts would be welcomed

Level 1: magic missile 15 mana, 75% ventriloquate 5 mana, 75%
Level 2: detect magic 5 mana, 77%
Level 3: detect invis 5 mana, 80%
Level 4: chill touch 15 mana, 75%
Level 5: invisibility 5 mana, 88%
Level 6: faerie fire 5 mana, 83%
Level 7: armor 5 mana, 100% burning hands 15 mana, 75%
Level 8: refresh 12 mana, 75%
Level 9: infravision 5 mana, 75% locate object 20 mana, 76%
recharge 60 mana, 75%
Level 10: fly 10 mana, 82% shocking grasp 15 mana, 75%
sleep 15 mana, 75% word of recall 5 mana, 84%

0-49% is red, 75-99% is white, 100% is gold, you seem to have left out 50-74%. In order to keep this post to a reasonable size, I'm only doing a few values in each group but the principle should be obvious. I've included two different methods, individual triggers and list triggers.

#CW { 1~%} {red}
#CW { 2~%} {red}
#CW {{ 3| 4| 5}~%} {red}
#CW { 49~%} {red}
#CW { 75~%} {white}
#CW {{ 76| 77| 78}~%} {white}
#CW { 99~%} {white}
#CW { 100~%} {yellow}

I haven't tested this and make no guarantees.

Ohh? Color words are actually alternate triggers?

Hmm I just remembered why that wouldn't work, our mud makes alternative uses of percentages, I need it specifically to match those lines

Also to make things more difficult ;) I would prefer not to color the percent sign

Any thoughts?

To control the use of these triggers, move them to a class of their own, which will be disabled at logon.
#CLASS SkillColors {disable}
#CLASS 0

You can then use Level 1: as a trigger to enable the class and Level 10: (whatever your highest level is) to disable it.

#TR {^Level 1:} {#T+ SkillColors}
#TR {^Level 10:} {#T- SkillColors}

As for coloring the percent-sign, there's no way around it with this method. If you prefer to use the more complicated #SUB, %ansi() approach go ahead, but you'll have to do it yourself.
Hmmm, you could color the percent-sign itself, if you know what color it would normally be. Make sure this comes after all the other #CW triggers.
#CW {~%} {cyan} {SkillColors}
