How do you color-code your cargo boxes or containers?

I have seen this in a workshop BP, most cargo boxes colored in red, green, yellow etc. I know that you must put a code in brackets before the name, like "- [xxxx]Neodynium". But where do you get these codes?
Thanks,

 

It's a hex code for colors. Here is a cool little tool if you want to create your own and don't know the code. https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp

So if you wanted your ammo box to show up red in the menu, you'd type:
[c][ff0000]Ammo

So "[c][colorcode]Name"

 

I think that : [rrggbb]container_name
is enought

 

I normally use the Texture Color Tool and place the Color Code into the appropriate boxes and get so my color Scheme.
But I think you want to achieve something different.

 

The [c] tag before the [rrggbb] changes the color slightly. Without the [c] everything gets a slight blue tint to it. For example, try with white: "[c][ffffff]Cargo" vs just "[ffffff]Cargo".

There are some other tags that work, though you are very character limited. Copied this from the Discord so it can be searched on the forum.

Code:

Supported markup tags for container names.
Leave out closing tags for brevity if you don't need them.

[b][/b] = Bold
[i][/i] = Italic
[u][/u] = Underline
[s][/s] = Strikethrough
[sup][/sup] = Superscript
[sub][/sub] = Subscript
[c][/c] = Sets text base color to white instead of default light-blue
[######][-] = Color (replace #'s with 6- or 8-digit hex color.
              The 8-value hex supports transparency. "[-]" is the closing tag.)
[##] = Set alpha (replace #'s with 2-digit hex value)

[c] and [######] will interact with each other. The hex color seems to multiply
against the base color, so if you use a hex color without [c] it will be tinted
the default light-blue color. For example, "[c][FFFFFF]" is required for pure white.
Skipping the [c] tag can save characters if you don't mind the tint.

 

Whatever is permitted in the new LCD text should work for containers' labeling also. Am I wrong?

 

You are correct. Color coding containers is amazing.

 

But limited in terms of "real estate". Imagine each one of them have their own "LCD emitter".

 

That's all very interesting, I thank you all for taking your time and elaborating on this. It's good to know that I can take the LCD mechanics as a base for the code syntax.

 

It's only a limited subset of the LCD commands that works. For example: pos, voffset, size, and rotate do not work if I recall. I believe the list I posted was all the commands I tried that actually had an effect.

 

Truth to be told an in-game color picker tool would be useful.
