How to Use Color Codes in Hytale
Choose Your Color Code
Select a color from the reference table above. Each color has a unique code from 0-9 and a-f, giving you 16 distinct colors to work with for your Hytale text.
Add the Section Symbol
Type the section symbol (§) followed by your chosen code. For example, §c creates red text and §a creates green text. In config files, use the ampersand (&) instead.
Apply Formatting (Optional)
Add formatting codes after your color code. Use §l for bold, §o for italic, §n for underline, or §m for strikethrough. Combine multiple formats for unique styles.

Complete Hytale Color Code Reference
Hytale color codes provide a powerful way to customize text throughout the game. The formatting system uses the section symbol (§) followed by a single character to apply colors and styles. Understanding these codes is essential for server owners, content creators, and players who want to make their messages stand out in chat, on signs, or in server configurations.
All 16 Color Codes
Hytale supports 16 standard colors ranging from basic black (§0) to bright white (§f). The color palette includes primary colors like red (§c), green (§a), and blue (§9), as well as variants like dark red (§4), dark green (§2), and dark blue (§1). Gold (§6) and yellow (§e) provide warm tones, while aqua (§b) and dark aqua (§3) offer cool alternatives. Gray (§7), dark gray (§8), and purple variants (§5, §d) complete the spectrum, giving you complete creative control over your Hytale text colors.
Formatting Options
Beyond colors, Hytale text can be styled with six formatting codes. Bold text (§l) makes messages prominent and attention-grabbing. Italic (§o) adds emphasis and style to your writing. Underline (§n) highlights important information, while strikethrough (§m) indicates changes or corrections. The obfuscated effect (§k) creates an animated, scrambled text effect perfect for mysterious messages. Finally, the reset code (§r) clears all formatting and returns text to default white. You can combine multiple formatting codes with colors for unique text styles.
Where to Use Colors
Hytale color codes work across multiple game features. In chat, players can send colorful messages to stand out in conversations. Signs support color codes for creating eye-catching displays and directions in your builds. Server MOTD (Message of the Day) uses these codes to create attractive server listings that draw players in. Server configurations and plugin settings often use the ampersand (&) alternative for color codes. Custom item names, player titles, and scoreboard entries also support text formatting, making these codes invaluable for server customization.
Pro Tips for Hytale Color Codes
- - Color codes automatically reset formatting codes, so always apply color first, then formatting
- - Use HEX colors (like #FF5555) for custom colors beyond the standard 16
- - The § symbol can be typed with Alt+0167 on Windows or Option+6 on Mac
- - In most server config files, use & instead of § for color codes
- - Combine §l (bold) with bright colors like §e (yellow) for maximum visibility
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I type the § symbol for Hytale color codes?
On Windows, hold Alt and type 0167 on the number pad. On Mac, press Option+6. Alternatively, you can copy the symbol from this page or use the ampersand (&) in config files. Most Hytale servers automatically convert & to § in-game.
Can I use multiple colors in one Hytale message?
Yes! You can switch colors as many times as you want within a single message. Simply add a new color code before each section of text. For example, §cRed §aGreen §9Blue creates a multi-colored message with three different colors.
What is the difference between & and § in Hytale?
Both symbols work the same way for color codes. The § (section sign) is the native formatting symbol, while & (ampersand) is an alternative commonly used in server configurations. Most servers and plugins automatically translate & to § when displaying text in-game.
How do I make bold colored text in Hytale?
Apply the color code first, then add the bold formatting code. For example, §c§l creates bold red text. The order matters because color codes reset formatting, so §l§c would result in non-bold red text. Always put color before formatting for best results.
Do Hytale color codes work on signs?
Yes, color codes work on signs in Hytale. You can create colorful sign text using the same § codes. This is perfect for creating eye-catching builds, server spawn areas, or directional signs. Some servers may require specific permissions for colored signs.
What does §k (obfuscated) do in Hytale?
The §k code creates an obfuscated or magic text effect where characters rapidly cycle through random symbols. This creates a scrambled, animated appearance often used for mysterious or magical effects. It continues until reset with §r or a new color code.
Can I use HEX colors in Hytale?
Yes, Hytale supports HEX color codes for custom RGB colors beyond the standard 16. This allows for millions of color possibilities. Use our HEX Gradient Generator tool to create beautiful gradient text with custom HEX colors for your Hytale content.
How do I reset formatting in Hytale chat?
Use §r to reset all formatting and colors back to the default white text. This is useful when you want to return to normal text after applying colors or styles. Note that applying a new color code will also reset formatting codes like bold or italic.
