Color in chat?

Im trying to figure out how to add some color to commands that I make, cause everything being in white depresses me, and is annoying as hell. Now, I tried using the <font> attribute, but it actually sent "<font color=ff0000>" Anyone know how to make it work?

PHP:

$this->api->chat->sendTo(false, "/*color this!*/$username is now AFK", $username);

short answer: not possible.
long answer: you could send a message with linebreaks, all the lines other then the first one will be grey

wait...but why does the release for 1.3.9 say it supports colors?

More colors for the console

I think what now console support colors,but Minecraft PE doesn't support colors
It isn't good
