One &#RRGGBB code per character. Works with EssentialsX, CMI, TAB, DeluxeMenus and most plugins that support hex on 1.16+.

Each colour rounded to the closest of the 16 classic colours. Use it for pre-1.16 clients or places without hex support.
How gradient text works
Minecraft has no gradient feature. A gradient is a run of characters that each get their own hex colour. Hex colours in chat need Java Edition 1.16 or newer, and plugins read them in different syntaxes. That is why there are several exports.
&#RRGGBB is a plugin convention that most chat and menu plugins translate. The game itself stores hex as §x§R§R§G§G§B§B. MiniMessage, used by Paper and Velocity, has a <gradient> tag that does the colour maths for you, so the output stays short.
Players on clients older than 1.16, or text that only supports the 16 legacy colours (like server.properties), will not see hex. The nearest legacy colours below show roughly what they get instead.
