You can use [Ctrl+K] combo like in mIRC to get the color control character, then you can use any character (uppercase/lowercase/digit/symbol) to select a color.  There's 255 different colors to choose from, and they're not really in any sort of sequential pattern.

How do you pick a color after control k? I have trouble finding out the codes.

Try putting in numbers, letters or do like shift+a, shift+h and so on... explore a bit.

a-z
A-Z
0-9

That's only 62 colors though.

I think that's a guide that should be added onto the forums.

There used to be a web page that let you pick from all the colours and special text symbols. It's down but I think the source code may be around.

You can probably use ALT+Keypad (i.e. ALT+222 =▐) combos to access the other 160+ ascii characters.
