You use hex numbers infront of text to change the text colors. Example

\#0000FF = Blue

\#FF3333 = Red

\#00CC33 = Green

You can look up websites with the hex codes here is a link to one.

You use hexadecimal codes for the colors... some common colors are given in one of the posts above me.

The syntax when naming your house would look like this:

\#FF0000\Wookiee Shop

The words "Wookiee Shop" would appear in red in this case. Make sure you don't have a space between your last \ and the first letter of your name.

You can also use multiple colors in the name, so if you wanted to add some extra text in blue, for example, it would look like this:

\#FF0000\Wookiee Shop \#0000FF\now hairball free!

The phrase "Wookiee Shop" would show in red, and "now hairball free!" would show in blue.

And, if you want it to look better, be more readable from a distance? In addition to making it one (or more) colors, change it to all upper case with one space between letters and three spaces between words. If you do this, the sign becomes easy to read from almost any distance where it's capable of being seen at all.
