Discord Colored Text Generator
Discord hides real color behind ANSI escape codes inside a code block. Build your message segment by segment: pick text and background colors, add bold or underline. Then copy code that's ready to paste.
Colors are approximate, and Discord's exact palette varies slightly by theme.
```ansi [1;36mDigital Den[0m ```
The invisible escape characters won't show above. That's expected. Paste the copied text into Discord and it renders in color on desktop and web. It appears as plain text inside a code block on many mobile clients.
Colored Discord text, explained
How do I make colored text in Discord?+
Type your text above and pick a foreground color, background color, bold, or underline for each segment. Click Copy, then paste the result into a Discord message. Because the text is wrapped in an "ansi" code block, Discord renders it with the colors you chose.
Why don't colors show on mobile?+
Discord only renders ANSI colors on the desktop app and the web client. Many mobile versions ignore the codes and display plain text inside a code block instead. The message is still readable everywhere. It just is not colorful on those clients.
What are ANSI codes?+
ANSI escape codes are a long-standing terminal standard for styling text. Each code (such as 31 for red or 4 for underline) is introduced by an invisible escape character. Discord supports a small subset of these codes inside "ansi" code blocks.
Is it free?+
Yes. This generator is completely free, needs no login or account, and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.
