How to Change Discord Text Color

You will find it above the TAB key on the left-hand side of your keyboard) followed by the name of the code language (such as CSS or HTTP). 

2. Step 2

   Your message will need to be on the second line. To get to the second line, you may need to hold SHIFT while you press ENTER. Here you will type your message. You may need to use specific characters depending on the color you want. 

3. Step 3

   When you are done with your message, go to the last line. Close your message with three more of the ` symbols.
