Allright, heres the deal.

As of the 1.14 patch, the player colors are displayed when typing ingame. Yeah yeah you all knew that i know. BUT, its now possible to set your custom unit text to any of these sexy new colors. Ive seen it in 2 or 3 maps. Problem is, I download so many maps on a weekly basis to track em down in my "download" folder. In scmdraft2 the color is inserted into your custom text using "<1> through <8> for the original colors: LightBlue1, LightBlue2, Yellow, White, Grey, Red, Light Green, Invisible. Ok more known facts... shhh im gettin there. Ive tried inserting the numbers 9-50 into that bracket with no result. If anyone is aware of the number//editor//method of doin this ill glady get under your desk..... Naw I take that back but id at least massage your feet. l-.-l

Not sure I follow your question, you can get those colors in the unit description text?
Example: A hydralisk with orange "Hydralisk" text in unit portrait area. I want my units to have blue, teal, orange, purple or brown unit text. (red, yellow & white are already available)

Are you sure these are new color codes, and, have you seen these colors on a non broodwar map?

I will investiage the matter with a hex editor and what not. I NEED these new color codes, since my maps alerts players names, it would be good if they where in proper color.

I have not personally witnessed these colors on original (vanilla) SC. The patch was applied to both SC and BW, and i know the blizzard in game text does show the players color on SC. I have not seen it in a .scm map, im sure its possible though.

Edit: Yes im sure they are new color codes, ive seen them in up to a dozen maps now. (See attached file a few posts up)
