Yup.. they took that out a long time ago.. but I do still see it from time to time on vendors... I do know if you buy the item you will see the HTML tags.... wonder if you can till type in the tags?? something I haven't tried...

You can colorize the names of backpacks and satchels, then put items in them and put them for sale on a vendor. Also, handcrafted (non-factory) clothing and armor will sometimes have a yellow label instead of white. Perhaps that is what you saw on the vendor?

The dev's dropped colored names because there was a chance thatcrafters could falsely color an item yellow and claim it had some special trait. In the case of clothing, Yellow indicated that the clothing had sockets.
On a side note, I don't think clothing with sockets are colored yellow anymore. I wonder when that changed...

*General Color
Color may be applied to structure names, bags/backpacks, basic text, and certain chat.
Basic text includes Emails, descriptions area, bio, and /note.
Chat that may be colored includes auction, vendor barking, AFK reply, reply, guild. Basically everything except spoken chat like yell, say, and shout.

To add color you will need to type \# before the #'s that match the color you want, just before the word(s) you want that color.
Just press \ once! It and the #'s may disappear if done correctly, though not always depending what you are naming.

Here are some basic colors.
Type \# and the corresponding #'s before your words you want colorized.
Remember to use the white code if wanting to return to normal looking text.

For highlighting colored text you may want to ENTER a few times down past your last typed line.
Then begin highlighting from the bottom of the empty lines you just created.
This will allow you to highlight the \ & #s at the beginning of the lines easier.

For chat, place a period (or anything really) before the \ or you will speak the #'s instead of haveing colored chat.
It may take some practice to highlight correctly, and even more to adjust everything to the look you want.
Above all play with it and try out all you can.
