In both RuneScape and RuneScape Classic, it's possible to change
the color or effect of your text, but it's different in both
versions. Whether you're trying to buy a new weapon, or asking for
help on a quest, the best way to make your message stand out is
with colored text.

RuneScape Text Effects
Changing the colors and effects of your text in RuneScape is a bit
different than in the Classical version, but it's the same idea.
You may want to attract attention and make your message stand out
with color, but there are lots of other effects you can use.
Colors
The 5 different colors you can use will show up in the main
game-play window, but they always show up in blue in the chat area
(unless you split chat). You can type in red, green, cyan, purple,
and white. To type in a different color, you first type in a color
mentioned above, followed by a colon, and then your message. So to
type "How are you?" in purple you would type... purple: how are
you? ---> How are you?
Color Codes
Code Effect
red: Red Text
green: Green Text
cyan: Bright Blue Text
purple: Purple Text
white: White Text
Effects
There are 7 different text effects that you can use in RuneScape.
You can make text scroll from right to left, wave up and down,
flash quickly in 3 different ways (flash1, flash 2, flash3), and
glow slowly in 3 different ways (glow1, glow2, glow3). The latest
effects added to the game wave more slowly (wave2), slide into
view, and shake up and down.

R.S. Classic Colors
In RuneScape Classic, making your messages change colors is a
little bit different than in RuneScape. Usually, you type the first
3 letters of the color, with an "@" symbol before and after it
(hint: [email protected]).
Example:
If you type: "@[email protected] Hey everyone, sup?" you would get: "Hey
everyone, sup?"
