This is usually one of the first things people want to learn how to do when they come into #pirch; it makes chatting so much more fun and interesting! Pirch supports 16 colors; 0=white, 1=black, 2=navy, 3=green, 4=red, 5=maroon, 6=purple, 7=olive, 8=yellow, 9=lime, 10=teal, 11=aqua, 12=blue, 13=fuchsia, 14=grey, 15=silver .

Colored Text:

• Press and hold down the control key.
• Type the letter k.
• Release both keys.
• Type in one of the color numbers from above.
• Type in your message.
• Hit enter.

It should look like this:
When it shows up in the channel it will look like this : Hello Everyone.
Notice there are NO spaces between controlk4; if you put spaces between control k and the color number it will not work.

Adding background color:

This is done like the above example, say we wanted a navy background to our red text, then:

• After the 4 type in a comma.
• Type in 2 for navy.
• Type in your message.
• Hit enter.

It will look like this: before you hit enter.
And like this after you hit enter:






If the text and background colors aren't enough Pirch also supports five different text attributes:

These are used just like the colors; control then the attribute letter. Remember not to insert spaces between the attributes, colors and the first letter of your message.

They are typed in before the colors. Each attribute will insert a square to show that it is there.

• Control B = Bold
• Control I = Italic
• Control S = Symbol Font (this let's you make the hearts and other symbols)
• Control F = Fixed System Font (another character font)
• Control U = Underlined
