Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this only work in Discord?
The colour comes from ANSI escape codes inside a code block tagged ansi — a feature Discord chose to support. Other apps treat that block as plain text, so they show the raw escape characters instead of colour. It is Discord-specific by design.

Will the colours show in DMs?
Yes. Discord renders ansi code blocks the same way in direct messages, group DMs, server channels and threads, so a copied block works anywhere you can send a message.

Can I use multiple colours in one message?
This version applies one colour, background and style to the whole input. To mix colours, generate several coloured blocks and combine them, or stack lines in a single ansi block by hand. Per-selection colouring is planned for a later version.

Why are the colours slightly different from what I expected?
Discord defines its own ANSI palette rather than using standard terminal colours, so its red, green and blue are tuned to its dark theme. The on-page preview uses Discord's documented hex values so what you see matches what posts.

Does this work on mobile Discord?
Yes. ANSI code-block rendering is uniform across Discord on iOS, Android, desktop and web, so a block copied here displays the same colours on a phone as on a computer.
