Rust Color Codes

Make colored Rust text with <color=#hex> codes — for chat, names and signs. Pick a color or a rainbow, then copy the code and paste it in.

How Rust color codes work (and where they don’t)

  • Rust uses Unity rich text: <color=#RRGGBB>your text</color>. Full hex is supported — so gradients and rainbows are smooth (no banding).
  • The honest catch: colored names and chat only render on modded servers that enable it (an Oxide/uMod plugin like Better Chat or Coloured Chat). On vanilla / official servers it shows as plain text with the tags visible. Ask your server, or use it on your own modded server.
  • Use 6-digit hex (no 8-digit alpha) — this tool always outputs the 6-digit form.

FAQ

How do I get a colored name in Rust?

Copy a code here — it looks like <color=#ff0000>Name</color> — and use it where your server allows (name or chat). It only shows in color on modded servers that enable Unity rich text.

Why does my Rust color code show as plain text?

The server isn’t rendering rich text. Colored chat/names need a modded server with a plugin like Better Chat (Oxide/uMod); vanilla and official servers show the tags as-is.

Can I use a gradient or rainbow?

Yes — Rust supports full hex, so gradients and rainbows come out smooth. Tick Rainbow or Gradient and copy the code.
