The [https://qud-colorgen.herokuapp.com/ qud-colorgen] utility (created by crayon) is an external tool that can help you create these complex color strings, however the newer Markup language the game uses might be good enough for your purposes. | |||

When putting strings using the basic color codes together to make sentences extremely confusing color bleed becomes possible. Because of this there is new system which parses text in double curly braces: <code><nowiki>{{color|text}}</nowiki></code>. If you want to ensure colors "return" to what they were set to, you can leave out the color. <code><nowiki>"{{|&RThis text is red}} and this will be whatever the color was before red"</nowiki></code> | ||
