# Colours
Colours use MiniMessage, the format most Paper plugins use: a tag in angle brackets before the words, and the same tag with a `/` after them.
```markdown
The market is open every day.
```
## Minecraft's sixteen colours
| Tag | | Tag | |
| ---------------- | --------- | --------------- | ---------- |
| `` | White | `` | Grey |
| `` | Dark grey | `` | Black |
| `` | Red | `` | Dark red |
| `` | Gold | `` | Yellow |
| `` | Green | `` | Dark green |
| `` | Aqua | `` | Dark aqua |
| `` | Blue | `` | Dark blue |
| `` | Pink | `` | Purple |
## Any colour
```markdown
<#ff8800>A colour of your own
Fading from green to blue
Every colour in turn
```
Each rank in its own colour, the last one a fade.
{% hint style="info" %}
**In the editor**, the **Colour** button does this for you, and every colour in the text gets a dot in front of it. Click the dot to change the colour.
{% endhint %}
## Other tags
Any MiniMessage tag works, for example a tooltip:
```markdown
Netherite
```
The full list is in the [MiniMessage documentation](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html). Tags inside `code` are shown as written instead.
