Colorful Chat
Chat color plugin for Spigot/Paper

Features
- Easy to use GUI with all Minecraft Colors
- Each player gets to chose their own color
- No complex setups or configs, just plug and play
- Works with a majority of chat formatters
Usage
Colorful Chat is designed to be as easy as possible to use.
Any player with the permission chatcolor.change (default)
can use the command /chatcolor to open the GUI
and change their chat color. Players with the chatcolor.custom
can use & codes in their messages and the server will colorize it.
We recommend only giving chatcolor.custom to staff or trusted
players as the codes can be used to generate annoying messages
with lots of magic effects and bold text.
Commands

/cc - Permission:

Tested Chat Formatters
As long as your chat formatter is not doing anything wacky it should prove no problem whatsoever. I tested it with VaultChatFormatter and it works just fine!.
