Coloring Text in string

Question

How can I color that string in code

private void HandleChatSpam()
{
    PlayerScript playerScript = PlayerScript.FromPhoton(PhotonNetwork.player);
    playerScript.ChatMessage("mpgh.net - BlackBoom pub build");
}

How can I color text in line here ChatMessage("mpgh.net - BlackBoom pub build"); text that I want to color (green) is mpgh.net - BlackBoom pub build

I already tried:

playerScript.ChatMessage(Color.green, "mpgh.net - BlackBoom pub build");

But I get this error

no overload for method 'ChatMessage' takes 2 arguments

What is ChatMessage

private void ChatMessage(string)

it's in reference

What version of unity are you using? Is it unity5 if so just grab the text object and change the color property — johnny 5, Mar 13 '17 at 20:30
Uh...is `ChatMessage()` a method from Photon? If that's the case, then you probably are stuck with what you've got. In that case, I recommend displaying this in a text field set to display Rich Text and working the colour in to the content you're sending. — Serlite, Mar 13 '17 at 20:44

You can use Unity Rich Text to color a string or parts of it.

In your case it would be :

playerScript.ChatMessage("<color=green>mpgh.net - BlackBoom pub build</color>");

`ChatMessage` is not part of the UI, so how is this going to work ? – Stanley S Mar 13 '17 at 22:41
Well we don't really know what his ChatMessage does so it's hard to tell. – I.B Mar 13 '17 at 22:43
`ChatMessage` sends message to photon server (in game chat) – Piotr Krankiewicz Mar 14 '17 at 09:42
