#show and #color
 
I have a trigger that does a #show upon receiving certain text.

I want to color the output of the #show a specific color.

I do:

#show blah blah
#color blue

and it prints the #show but colors the line that triggered the trigger instead of the #show output.

I tried using #cw and #say instead, and it didn't help.

Any suggestions?

You could try including the color command in the command itself.

#SAY %ansi(blue) blah blah

This is per the CMUD command reference for #SAY. It should work for #SHOW as well.

This does seem to work, thank you!

Is there a way to use non-ansi colors with #SHOW or #SAY? %ansi doesn't seem to read it properly. I tried using %color and %colorname, and that also didn't work.

You can use hexadecimal colors if you know the code, just use #RRGGBB in place of the color word

for example:

#SAY {<color #FF5733>some text</color>}
