 is pretty cool and you can have this on your RPG Maker game, although how to do it is surprisingly hidden, it is not very clear if you use the engine casually. But don't worry, it is pretty easy to put colored text in your game.
Phase OneUnderstanding How The Feature Works
Step one, create a new event. To do as such (in case you are extremely new), click on the icon on the toolbar and then double click anywhere on the map. This will open the Event Editor.
On the Event Editor, click on the @> and then select Show Text. This will open the text editor. So now, here's how to add colored text: to do as such, put in \c[x] before the text. The \c[x] won't show up on the text, this change the text color. Replace with x with any of the numbers from the chart below:
Let's try out \c[1]. Let's start with a simple phrase, "Hello adventurer, welcome to Blue Town." So, on text editor, let's insert the text and see ow it turns out.
Now the entire text is blue! ...Wait, this is not what you wanted? Don't worry, partial color text is also possible.
Final PhasePartial Color Text
Let's say you only want "Blue" to be blue. How do you do that? It's simple. Our original text was "\c[1]Hello adventurer, welcome to Blue Town.", but let's move that "\c[1]" to before "Blue", so it becomes "Hello adventurer, welcome to \c[1]Blue Town."
Now the only part in blue is Blue Town. But you only wanted Blue to be blue and the rest to be normal right? Now here's the interesting part. Let's go back to our text "Hello adventurer, welcome to \c[1]Blue Town.". To make only the Blue part to be blue, add \c[0] after it. It will look something like this: "Hello adventurer, welcome to \c[1]Blue\c[0] Town." Let's try it out shall we?
There you go. In order to make one part of the text to be in color, add the color code you want for that part of the text before it and put the normal color code after it. To make it easier to understand, X is the part you want colored, and Y is a part you don't want. The formula here is "\c[<color you want here>]X\c[0] Y."
Hope this helped!
