Explanation

The code works by applying a hex to the characters after the code is typed. So after the hex is input, it changes the colors of ALL characters after the hex, until another hex is typed.

The hex key is the caret key or
^
which can be typed using Shift+6. The hex is followed by a number, which will determine the color of the characters following the hex.

eg.
^1Pwnulatr
will make "Pwnulatr" completely red.
but
^1Pwn^2ulatr
will make "Pwn" red and "ulatr" green.



Here is what I input for my name in this screenshot
^1P^2w^3n^4u^5l^6a^1t^2r

FAQ

Question
Will this get me VAC banned?
Answer
NO. It was a feature included in the game as an easter egg, so it will not get you banned. However, people who don't know how to do it will accuse you of being a hacker a lot of the time, which I'm sure you can deal with ;)

Question
Will the Hex (eg. ^2) be visible in my name?
Answer
When someone views your Steam profile, YES, but in-game, NO.

Question
How/Where do I apply the code?
Answer
You apply this code to your ingame name, through Steam, or when you rename your classes. Note When you enter the code into your class name, the ^ and number will disappear and you will type in the color you input.
