Ctrl-B for bold

But if you do that, everyone will probably try to kill you.

First of all, you must enable the function - this is to help mark sure you really want colors and aren't just out to annoy people (overly colorful text is a big annoyance to many people). It's usually worth making sure the channel(s) you want to use colors with don't mind, as some channels will kick and possibly ban people who use colors.

Simply do /pref outgoing.colorCodes true to enable entering colors. This setting is saved, so you will only need to do it once.

To actually insert colors, bold or underline, you need to enter % into the input box, then you will get a little popup window reminding you what to do. Here is a summary:

    * %U - toggle underline
    * %B - toggle bold
    * %R - swaps foreground and background colors
    * %O - reverts colors to defaults
    * %C - sets the text color, e.g. %C4 for red text
    * %% - putting two percent characters before U, B, R, O or C stops ChatZilla doing anything special with it, so you can still say "%C" by typing %%C.
