🎨 Discord Colored Text Generator
Give your Discord messages colour: pick a text colour, background, bold and underline, preview it, and copy a ready-made ANSI code block to paste straight into chat.
```ansi
\u001b[1;32mHello Discord\u001b[0m
```Discord colour needs an ANSI code block, which only renders on desktop and the web app (mobile shows plain text). The copied block already includes the escape characters — just paste and send. 🔒 Runs in your browser.
How the discord colored text generator works
Discord has no colour button, but its desktop and web apps render a special "ansi" code block using terminal colour codes. This tool wraps your text in the right escape sequences and fenced code block, so pasting the copied output shows up coloured. Choose from Discord's eight text colours and backgrounds, plus bold and underline, and the preview mirrors how it will look.
The escape character that makes this work can't be typed on a normal keyboard, which is why a generator is needed — the copied block already includes it. One limitation is platform: ANSI colour only renders in the Discord desktop and browser apps; the mobile app shows the text without colour. It is deterministic — the same choices always produce the same code.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make colored text in Discord?
Discord reads colour from an "ansi" code block. Pick your colours here, copy the generated block, and paste it into a Discord message — it renders coloured on desktop and web.
Why isn't my colored text showing on mobile?
The Discord mobile app doesn't render ANSI colour code blocks yet, so it shows the plain text instead. Colour appears on the desktop and browser apps.
Why can't I just type the colour codes myself?
The codes start with an invisible ESC (escape) character that isn't on your keyboard. The generator inserts it for you, which is the whole reason a tool is needed.
Is my message text sent anywhere?
No. The code block is built entirely in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.
