Introduction

 

The colour codes are command codes which will change the colour of your written foreground text. The background of a text can not be changed.

 

 

$000-$fff

 

The colour codes used in Trackmania are a 3-digit RGB hexadecimal value. RGB means that every colour you want is actually made of 3 components: Red,Green and Blue.

 

For any of the 3 components you can enter values from 0-9 and A-F (equals 16 values (=hexadecimal), from 0 beeing the "darkest" value to F beeing the "most intense" value of a component...

 

Theoretically you have 16*16*16 (4096) possibilities in Trackmania to mix the exact color you want, but you will never need that many. It's actually enough if you concentrate on a 3-stepping, 0,3,6,9,C and F .. with these values you will have 6*6*6 (216) colours available.

 

 

A few simple examples

 

$600: Red
medium dark

 

$ff0: Yellow
consists of bright red and bright green

 

$0ff: Cyan / Aqua
consists of bright green and bright blue

 

$999: Medium Grey
same values are always a flat grey tone

 

 

 

$000-$fff versus $000000-$ffffff

 

Maybe you are familiar with the "usual" notation of the RGB values from 0-255, which is represented by a 00-FF value (6-digit RGB with 16.8 million colours) ) for each component, instead of just 0-F (3-digit RGB with 4096 colours).

 

Don't let this irritate you.

 

The 3-digit RGB pretty much represents the so called "Web-smart" palette for web designers.

 

The 3-digit notation is just a "simplified" and not so detailed notation but it works the same way. Actually you can easily convert 3-digit to 6-digit in your mind, by using every value of the 3-digit twice...

 

Example

$06C = $0066CC

 

 

How to use the color codes

 

They're used the same was as the text control codes, they're directly written within your text.

 

Example
$00fS$00cA$009M$006P$003L$000E

will result in this output:
Trackmania control codes

I've started with intense blue (00F) and went down to black (000) in steps of 3... As you can imagine, you can create lots of very decent text effects with using different colours.

 

 

Trackmania Colour Chart (3-digit RGB Hexadecimal)

 

For simplicity reasons, this chart is reduced. To read a value properly, mark the text in the colour box you want.
