[Tutorial] How to have colors on your menu (LUA)

[[pwn]age]

Here is a guide on how to add colors to your npc menu.
I will be showing you how to put color text on your menu without having to do c++ scripting.
Its very simple.

Menu->AddItem(0, "|cffff6060NameOfThePlace|r", 3);
Notice the text in red?
This is what you add into to change the color of the text.
cffff6060 is the color of the text. Which is a bright red almost a pink.

Here's another example.
unit:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "|cFF00FFFFNothing Personal Mall", 4, 0)
Notice after "Nothing Personal Mall" I didn't put a "lr"
Well this is not needed to have color text.



If you want to change the color so something different here is a list of different colors.

I think you can also choose your own color which is not in the list by looking up the hex color([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) and adding the prefix |cff
