Chat Colors and Effects

In RuneScape, it's possible to change the color or effect of your text. Whether you're trying to buy a new weapon, or asking for help on a quest, the best way to make your message stand out is with colored text.

Combinations

You can have combinations of colors and text effects in your messages too. Colored text (cyan, green, purple, red, and white) can scroll, shake, slide, or wave. Flashing and glowing text effects may also have a scroll or wave effect added to them. When combining colors and effects, always have the color before the effect and do not put a space between the color colon and the first letter of the effect.
