# LFS Text Colour Playground

LFS colour codes work by prepending a caret ( `^` ) character before a number between 0-9. 8 uses the same colour as 9, but also resets the codepage LFS uses to encode your message. Every message in this playground begins with `^8` to reset the codepage initially.

The two character ( `^#` ) colour encoding is hidden in the resulting message. Colour text strings occupy more bytes in a string. A non-coloured character occupies 1 byte whereas a coloured character occupies 3 bytes, for example: `^0a` (Black a).

This tool is useful for writing the `welcome.txt` file which displays a welcome message to users entering your LFS server.

Note: This tool only supports LFS colour encodings. LFS codepage and special character encodings are not supported.
