ColorMe
ColorMe - Add color to player names
Version v3.8.1
Old forum link: Click!
Description
This plugin aims to modify the chat with colors, prefixes and suffixes.
You can set the color/prefix/suffix for individual players or create groups and add players to them.
There are several supported third-party plugins and other supported things like Spout or an economy system.
It's a rebirth of ColorMe and Prefixer from @Valrix

I didn't get, what permission should I have for my nickname get color under my head. My nick is colored just when I am op. Please, learn me.
Update: I got it. There is a mistake in your description, you wrote: "colorme.namteag", but right variant is "colorme.nametag", fix it.
It Dosent work for me please help! it says Your prefix has been changed. but it doesnt show up when I chat! Help me and i actually might donate to you guys :)
Wont work:P
@DjBuRnOuTQc
I don't believe that's a bug with the plugin. I think the color characters count as part of the name length, and since Minecraft's max name length is 16 then anything above 14 will be cut off if the name has color characters in it.
I found a bug, when a user has more than 14 caracters (15 for exemple) the last caracter doesn't show above their head so their skin doesn't load either.
Exemple : TheRockShadow91 is written TheRockShadow9 above his head so his skin doesn't load up.
It's not a major bug but it can be annoying for those who have a skin. I verified if it was doing it without colorme and it didn't, so the bug comes from ColorMe.
Thanks a lot!
Is there any escape sign if I actually want to type like &c on a sign... for example as an explanation to how it works?
Name colors are not working with Punishmental installed. (They worked just before!) Also, Punismental's Rename punishment messes the colors up even more! (Prefixes still work with it?)
I Have a suggestion for you
Can you add this??
This file declares custom permissions and ties prefixes and suffixes to them.
Players who possess these permissions will have the prefix and suffix assigned to the given permission.
colorme.group.admin prefix = "[&cAdmin&f]" or any combination.
colorme.group.mod prefix = "[&bMod&f]" or any combination.
colorme.group.Vip prefix = "&9[Vip]&f " or "&random[Vip]&f or any combination.
colorme.group.Vip suffix = " &f" or any combination.
colorme.group.User prefix = "&f" or any combination.
So if i Add a player to vip group using Group Manager, xPermissions, etc, automatically the plugin put a prefix to his name.
Thanks and great Plugin

Try with &9&l not &l&9
I'm trying to make my name color to bold and blue (&l&9) and it says theres no such a color. and when i add that color (&l&9) to my prefix, it works. what can i do to make my name color to bold blue? Thanks, Daniel.
@luigi_carsi3
Is there something in the config of "Factions" to disable prefixes? I had the same problem with essentials and I just disabled colour and prefixes in the config.
ColorMe localization file (english/default) is not a localization file of ColorMe? I believe it is a localization file of CookMe instead. I was like: "dahell is this foods thingy".
Hi I recently installed Factions, and now everyone on my server has a white prefix - [FACTIONS]. Could this be ColorMe's fault? Is there a way to remove it?
Can you make it so the prefix is in the pointed brackets of the username (eg. <prefix username>)?
Can you make it so if a person has 'colorme.autonickcolor.green' then their name is green.
Or it will say you don't have permission, when i gave myself permission in pex
Doesn't Work. It says "COLOR CHANGED TO BLUE" but it doesnt actually change it.
@HamppuPoju
Should work fine :)
@Go4Nightfire
See the FAQ section, you can use them together but it needs some additional configuring
