help setcol

setcol <item>
setcol <item> <colourcode>

example:
setcol mobile ^G
setcol planet rgb:ffe0e0:Y

Lets you customise the colour used to display certain standard items used within the mud.

In addition to the normal colour codes from info colour; we also allow specification of exact RGB colours, if your client supports it, with automatic fallback to 256-colour mode if possible and then an explicit fallback if only ANSI colours are supported by your terminal. This syntax is

rgb:<hexcode>:C

where hexcode is the normal 6-character hex code for the colour used on the web, and C is the baseline colour code to us as a fallback (e.g. r=red).

See showcol for a list of the support items.

If you don't specify the colourcode, it will be set back to the default for your current colour scheme.

Note: some custom colourcodes are not universally supported. Notably, ‘object’ and ‘mobile’.
