Tutorial: How to add color codes

COLOR CODES
This works with ALL existing versions of Pixel Gun 3D.
Step 1: Locate a website that lists or has color codes.
Pixel Gun 3D only allows use of HTML color codes, which consist of a 6-character format. A good website to find out about color codes (and selecting the code you want), would be Html Color Codes.

Step 2: Select your color code.
Now that you have the website, simply scan through the color chart and pick out a color you like. Once you have it, remember the code (or you can copy it and paste it into your username form).

Step 3: Open the Pixel Gun 3D app.
Once your Pixel Gun 3D app has loaded, go to Profile. Next, where your username is, paste the code in there.

Step 4: Exit the Profile, and have fun!
Now that you have your color code in, go and show it off to the masses in multiplayer!

USERNAME FORMAT
Now that you have your color code selected, there is a certain format you need to follow:

In order for the color code to show up properly, you MUST have the code between two square brackets (these things "[ ]"). For example:

[FF0000]
The color code can be put anywhere in your name. If you want the color to show for your whole name, put the code in front of your username. If you want the "killed Username" part to be colored, then it must be put after the username. Examples are below:
[FF0000]GoldMan27

GoldMan27[FF0000]
And for those who want it, here are the images to prove it, in same order of appearance:

With the color code in front of username.

With the color code at the end of the username.
And there you have it! If you have any further questions, post below and I'l do my best to answer them!

I've never seen two players using color codes killing each other, but if I had to guess, then the killed part would be the color of the killer, and the victim would retain his/her own color.

This is all in theory however, I haven't toyed much with the color codes personally.

Actually, that's what happens when two people with color codes on kill each other. Its basically made like this:
{Player 1 killed} (Player 2)
Each side corresponds to each side's color.
 
None the less, this really helped, thank you for posting this!
 
Something that I recently found out is that you can also use text accents, such as strikethrough and italics.
After searching html codes on the internet, I've found some that work for Pixel Gun names.

Here's what I've found so far, make sure there are no spaces in the brackets or they will not work.
Strikethrough: [ s]
Underline: [ u]
Italics: [ i]

I am fairly certain there's more, but I haven't found them yet.

I have found that out as well. Some players now have a strikethough, and RE-D on here has an italicized name in-game as well.

BTW, can you show screenshot examples of the last bit that you explained? For example, how it would look if the code was in front and how it would look if the code was in the back.

I can very well do that, give me about 20 mins at max.
Wait, you mean in the profile bar? Or during a deathamtch?
 
I noticed EvHaseo's color codes do not show when he is in-game , but other players do .. is there a specific reason for this ?
