# Text Formatting

## How to use colored texts

You can change color of text and specify a custom hex color using the special notation.

### Basic

`display_name: '&6TEST'`

```yml
items:
  custom_nbt_item_display_name_classic:
    enabled: true
    display_name: '&6TEST'
    resource:
      generate: false
      model_path: minecraft:item/emerald
      material: PAPER

```
