There are many special ways to get your message across in RuneScape chat. These special effects can help make your message easier to see in a busy area, which is especially beneficial for Merchanting.
Colors
The most basic of special effects that you may add to your message is a color. The color must be written before the message, followed by a colon. The message written after that will then be the specified color.

cyan:--------- cyan text
purple:------purple text

In addition to the colors, there are many special effects that may be used. Similarly to the color scheme, you must write the special effect code, followed by a colon before writing your message.

Combinations of Effect Codes
