Any information will be greatly appreciated. I really really surprised to see linked named you could click on, and even more so to see you can colorize your chat ((Other then settings))
Greetings,

The ability to change chat colors is actually a bug that is planned to be addressed. We've been seeing players asking if it's okay to use these different colors, or if it's against the rules. As such, Hiroshi Minagawa, Lead UI artist, has posted a response about this that we’d like to share with you.

After making edits to a separate feature planned for patch 2.38, this bug was coincidentally fixed, and with the latest development version of the game the ability to change chat color like this is no longer possible.

*Similarly, the bug that allowed you to use code to make special characters will also no longer be possible.

Patch 2.35, which will be released soon, will not have the above fixes applied yet, so it will still be possible to do these things.

As an official response from the development and operations teams in regards to whether these techniques should be used in the current version and patch 2.35, since these features have not been certified, we’d like players to refrain from using them.

If you are just having fun with a friend and showing off that you know something special, we don't want to say this is not allowed. However, with an MMORPG, depending on how you use certain features there is a possibility of disturbing other players, so we would appreciate it if you could refrain from using features that have not been confirmed.

With that said, we do not have any plans to release an official feature for changing chat color like this when sending messages to others. The reason being there are cases where it could be used to disturb others.
