Custom chat colors in Forge?

[Timiette]

Hi there! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (first time actually visiting these forums!), but I'd like to know if it's possible to create custom chat colors in a Forge mod (I'm the "developer" for a server that would benefit greatly from the mod, hence why I'm asking.)

Do you mean this?
https://maven.thiakil.com/forge-1.12-javadoc/net/minecraft/util/text/TextFormatting.html

If so, I meant more like custom colors, not ones like that - not the vanilla colors

There are some Forge-available functions to add new values to enums, though I'm not sure what the class name is, as it may have changed between 1.12 and 1.13 and you didn't say what version you're working with (1.12 by the docs link, maybe? Then it would be EnumHelper). Be aware that enums are sometimes optimized by the JVM and adding new values may have unexpected behavior.

Oh! Thank you! I'll look into it when I get to my computer. ?

Is there anything else I should know?
