    Title: Add more IGN text colors to the chat
    IGN: somkar8
    Suggestion: I've been around ECC long enough to grow a little crazy about all the green, purple, and orange IGN texts in the server chat. So, I think being able to choose another color or two will suffice to this situation. I would suggest red or dark blue ( to differ from the mod's IGNs).

    No other info.

    (I believe) There are only 16 colors available in minecraft chat without a client-side plugin, and various ECC officials have stated over the years that ECC will never require client-side plugins.

    White: Global
    Lt. Grey: Trade
    Grey: Not easily visible
    Black: Not visible
    Red: Alert
    Yellow: Local
    Orange: President+ name color
    Pink: really? yuck
    Lime: Resident name
    Green: Mayor name and Party Chat
    Lt. Blue: Trivia chat?
    Blue: Not easily visible
    Cyan: unused
    Magenta: PM's (hard to match this one in forum colors...)
    Purple: Not easily visible
    Brown: Not easily visible

    Somewhere in those colors is also a Staff Chat. Unfortunately, there AREN'T any colors left.

    cyan is used for auction and purple is currently used for resident-president names in pvp areas such as SG.

    *shrugs* close enough :)

    I'm at work, so all the colors I did were from memory. Can't flip between the website and MC right now.

    Dark Blue is developer colour I'm sure.
    Red is Administration.
    Therefore, these colours won't work for normal players' ranks.
