When you have more then 5,000 points the Name Restrictions are lifted. Along with being able to have a longer name and special characters, you can also use color codes to change the color of your name.

Name Restrictions

Before you reach the 5,000 points, the Name Restrictions are as follows:

• Name length can't be more then 20 characters.
• Name can't contain any special characters.

Color Codes

Input color values using HTML coding. In essence, HTML coding is a 6 digit/letter combination used for a specific color value.

Coding Format

<c val="FF0000">The text here will be red</c>

Anything between the "opening" and "closing" brackets will be the color chosen.

So to make R red it would look like this:

<c val="FF0000">R</c>

Example

Red:

<c val="FF0000">Red</c>

Orange:

<c val="fe8a0e">Orange</c>

Yellow:

<c val="FFFF00">Yellow</c>

Green:

<c val="00FF00">Green</c>

Teal:

<c val="00FFFF">Teal</c>

Blue:

<c val="151B8D">Blue</c>

Purple:

<c val="842DCE">Purple</c>

RAINBOW Exaple:

<c val="FF0000">R</c><c val="fe8a0e">A</c><c val="FFFF00">I</c>
<c val="00FF00">N</c><c val="00FFFF">B</c><c val="151B8D">O</c>
<c val="842DCE">W</c>

Notes

• There is a 255 character limit set in place for starcraft. 12-13 Different colors is about the max that you may use in any name before it will be cut off.
• Color Codes also work in Last Wills.
