Add color to your Discord messages with ansi code blocks. Type your text, pick a color, and copy a block that pastes straight into chat.
Color renders inside an ansi code block, so the output is wrapped in triple backticks. It shows on desktop and recent mobile apps.
Your text
Type the words you want to color.
Choose a color, and turn on bold if you want it stronger.
Copy the ansi code block and paste it into Discord.
Discord does not have a color button, but it does render a special kind of code block. When you mark a block with the ansi language, Discord reads the old terminal color codes inside it and paints the text. This tool wraps your words in the right codes so you do not have to memorize them.
The output is a normal code block. You copy the whole thing, including the triple backticks, and paste it into a message. Discord does the coloring when the message sends.
Ansi gives you a small fixed palette rather than any color you want: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, pink, white, and gray. The shades are muted on purpose, since they come from a terminal theme, so do not expect neon. Pick the one that reads best on Discord's dark background.
Bold makes a color brighter and heavier, which is the closest thing to a second shade. One block holds one color, so for a multi color line you stack several blocks.
Colored ansi blocks render on the desktop app and the browser, and on recent versions of the mobile app. Very old app versions show your text without color but still readable, so nothing breaks for them. If color matters for an announcement, mention that it looks best on desktop.
Type your text above, pick a color, turn on bold if you want it stronger, and watch the preview. When it looks right, copy the code block and paste it into Discord. Send the message and the color appears.
Color only works inside a code block, so it will not show in a plain message, a username, or a channel name. Keep the colored part short. A highlighted word or a single line lands better than a whole paragraph in color.
The codes are plain text and completely safe to paste. Nothing runs, and there is no way for an ansi block to affect your account.
Discord renders ansi code blocks with color. The tool wraps your text in the right escape codes inside an ansi block.
Colored ansi blocks render on desktop and newer mobile clients. Very old app versions show the text without color.
Each block sets one color. Stack several blocks for different colored lines, one per line.
No. Color only works inside an ansi code block, which is why the output is wrapped in triple backticks.
Yes. It is plain text with standard escape codes. Nothing runs on your account.
