[CHAT] ColorMe v3.8.1 - Add color to player names. GROUPS! [1.5.1-R0.2]

ColorMe - Add color to player names
Version: v3.8.1

BukkitDev: Click!

Description

This plugin aims to modify the chat with colors, prefixes and suffixes.
You can set the color/prefix/suffix for individual players or create groups and add players to them.
There are several supported third-party plugins and other supported things like Spout or an economy system.

It's a rebirth of ColorMe and Prefixer from @Valrix
I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.

As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom)

Config

See the config (fully commented) here: Click

Commands & Permissions

Only the bukkit permissions are supported! I highly recommend that you use a plugin for permissions like bPermissions!
If no permission system is found, all commands are for OPs only!
If you want to use ECONOMY, please use Vault!

See the extra site for commands and permissions here

Custom colors

There is a thread where you can share your custom colors!
