Using Color Codes [#using-color-codes]

BeamMP supports caret (`^`) color codes in server names. See [Color Codes](/docs/beammp/color-codes) for the full reference.

Example:

```toml
Name = "^4XGaming ^f| ^2BeamMP ^fServer"
```

This displays as: blue "XGaming", white "|", green "BeamMP", white "Server".
