Description

Colour is used to review and change the colour of messages you receive. Typing just 'options colour' will list your current settings. Typing 'options colour <event>=<colour>' will set all future messages of type 'event' to be in the colour 'colour'.

To see any user set colours (including your own) that do not go through this colours control use the 'output usercolour' option.

The colour can alternatively be 'default' to reset the colour back to the default, or 'none' to set it to have no value.

The colour of inform events can be seen and modified by using the 'inform' parameter.

You can also setup colours for each of your clubs. When setting the club name you have to place it in "'s.
