You can even type your text in a limited number of colors. Why in colors? Well, you could use it to get the attention of people on your server and people will automatically notice your text if it stands out and looks different from the regular text.
Note: Discord Color Formatting doesn’t work on Smartphones, so if you are sending messages from the discord phone App, then you will not see the colors but users with Discord for PC will be able to see texts in color.
Text in Red Color
“`diff – Discord Text in Red “`
Text in Orange Color
“`css [Here is what text in Orange looks like] “`
Text in Yellow Color
“`fix Here’s your text in Yellow on Discord “`
You can also use this method to type your text in Yellow
“`apache Here_is_another_way_to_type_in_yellow “`
Text in Light Green Color
“`diff +This is light green text in Discord “`
Text in Dark Green Color
“`bash “This is Discord message with dark green text” “`
Text in Blue Color
“`ini [Blue text is all you need] “`
And this is how you can use text formatting in Discord. All of this is possible thanks to Markup for Discord. If you take a look at the colors part, you will notice that each color has its unique syntax and symbols.
