How to Use Chat Effects and Colors in RuneScape

Last Updated: November 5, 2020

Do you want to make your chat text in Runescape stand out? Do you need to grab other players' attention? Make text stand out by turning it into different colours and using other effects.

Steps

1
Log on to your Runescape account. This will not work on Runescape Classic, which is really old.
2
Turn on the chat effects feature under the "options" bar; this is marked by a wrench. If this is off the syntax will not work.

3
Think of the type of text you want. It's good to visualize what you want your text to look like. If you don't you may end up with something people can't understand.
4
Type the effects you want into the chat. Use this syntax: colour:effect:text. Do not put spaces in between the code and the text, or it will not display correctly. If you like, you can specify only a colour, or only an effect - there is no obligation to use both.
