_See also [[/cnick]]._

h2. Use random nick colors

Enable or disable random nick colors.

_Random nick colors does not work for your own nick, only remote nicks: You can create a nick color rule using *$me* to set your own nick color._

h2. Use extended color list

If enabled, the random nick color will be a full [[$rgb]] value ([[Formatting Text|instead of just color 0-99]]), and if the color is to close to the background color, it will be inverted.

_Note: miRC colors 16-35 will be reserved for event colors in this case and not look the same as other clients. [[$color]] will also return different values._

_See also [[Extra Colors]]._
