How to write in colord letters (ROC editor)

[Alex]

When i play melee or games that pro editors made i notice that the hot-key of the building is highlighted yellow if the letter occurs in the name i also noticed when i go to edit that unit it has random letters or they are to me at least.

For example:
"Train|cffffcc00A|rrcher," For the night elf archer...

...how do i make my letters become colored?
...are there different colors available or only yellow?
...is this the same way to do it on the loading screen (if not explain how plz)?

There are many different colours availible, ever color has a different code.

|cffffcc00A|rrcher
- |c Means the start of a color.
- Than comes a 6 letters or numbers code with 2 '00' (which I believe causes the text to be transparent), that basicly decides what color you get. ffffcc is the 'hot key yellow' in Warcraft.
- Than comes the part of the text you want colored, A in this example.
- And last the |r which means the end of the colored text.

http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm has a list with all kinds of different colors, use the Color Codes to replace the ffffcc to get different colors.
In the code the first 2 numbers/letters are for Red.
3rd and 4th are for green.
And the 5th and 6th are for Blue.

So:
|cffffcc00Hello|r |cFF000000How|r |c00FF0000Are|r |c0000FF00You?|r
Would look like this in game:
Hello How Are You?

I'm not 100% sure about the '00' part anymore, it has been a very long time since I've learned how this stuff works.
Here are the codes I've used in my own map.

Red = |cffff0000Fire|r
Green = |cff32cd32Nature|r
Brown = |cff8B4513Earth|r
White = |cffEEEEE0Wind|r
Lighter Yellow = |cffFFFACDLightning|r
Blua = |cff0000FFWater|r
Purple = |cff551A8BDark|r
Yellow = |cffFFC125Light|r
Hero Hint = |cff8B795EHint|r

will the coloring work on unit names for example if i made a unit named "|cff551A8BDark|r" would it be that name or would it be named Dark

 

[Whoareyou.]

It would be renamed Purple Dark, also use the edit button?

? :x your answer reads "yes" to both posibilities.
what whoareyou means is that it will be Dark he just worded it funny, and i had a hard time figuring it out

It works on all in-game text that way.

edit: and yeah, use the edit button... else i would have 3 posts in place of this one already >.<'' and we don't want double posting, plox.

ps. after writing the edit, i edited it three more times. that would be a tripple kill- double post massacre :O
