ColorMe
ColorMe - Add color to player names
Version v3.8.1
Old forum link: Click!
Description
This plugin aims to modify the chat with colors, prefixes and suffixes.
You can set the color/prefix/suffix for individual players or create groups and add players to them.
There are several supported third-party plugins and other supported things like Spout or an economy system.
It's a rebirth of ColorMe and Prefixer from @Valrix

As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom)

Only the bukkit permissions are supported! I highly recommend that you use a plugin for permissions like bPermissions!
If no permission system is found, all commands are for OPs only!
If you want to use ECONOMY, please use Vault!

No issues under the first 1.4 builds so far. Still planned to release an update to address some minor bugs.
@fede1608
Try it ;D
Could work, but could be very incompatible...
@Charl101
Nope. Should be right, I re-check that!

Look below - or do you mean different colors for chat/head/tab list?
@hershysnickers
That's weird and not caused by ColorMe (at least it shouldn't)
Any other chat plugins installed?
@EpicTrance
I will look into it and release a small update with 1.4 release (not sure which date yet, around 1.4 builds for bukkit)

Ohh, i get it now lol.
Also, the second bracket > gets colored at the end of the name. I was wondering too, is there anyways to mix colors? Like SICC, but SI is one color, and CC is another? If not, would that be something you could possibly add? Would be cool too if you were able to have each letter a different color that you choose.
Either way, thanks for the reply/help.

Posted Oct 15, 2012I cant make my name mixed colored, i do /color me blue-bold and its just regular blue.
EDIT: Also, the first < on your name in game(<SICC>) doesnt get colored when you color my name. Say i color my name blue, the first < stays white.

Its red and bold. Use the & character and the colors found ingame by typing /color list
@EpicTrance
So for example you are in the world 'TestWorld', and have the default color red, the red color is still displayed in the TestWorld when you type e.g. this:
/color me green TestWorld ? If yes, I'll look into it, if there is a bug.
@jn4kim
PEX doesn't offer the ability to color the names. You can use the prefix and ColorMe will use it. or use the group system of ColorMe to create a Moderator group and add the people to the group. Then you are able to set the prefix, suffix and color of the group
