inn my cor lua it has the rolls and there lucky/unlucky numbers
so when i roll i get a text in game with the lucky/unlucky number for the roll... but the text is white and can get easy missed because of this ...

Code
 if rollinfo then
        add_to_chat(104, spell.english..' provides a bonus to '..rollinfo.bonus..'.  Roll size: '..rollsize)
        add_to_chat(104, 'Lucky roll is '..tostring(rollinfo.lucky)..', Unlucky roll is '..tostring(rollinfo.unlucky)..'.')
    end

You should just have to change the “104”s to a different number. I seem to recall the colors are set to match your custom color scheme, so it can vary. I found a chart at one time that shows the matchups, (like shout equals what #), but cant find it right now - try some lower numbers like 4 or 6 etc.

I know it's not exactly what you are asking, I use a 2nd line in macro for it.

/echo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- L # U #

echo is yellow

Puts the LU to the far right in the chat log, hard to miss.

if you use battlemod, can type in //bm colortest
will display text color options and the number associated with them.

was thinking of using the echo but was hoping i could change the colour first ... if i cant then ech is still a good option

Using the example above, because you didn't post any code and I have no idea what you are dealing with. Any kind of example of what it says in your LUA would be nice.
Code
require('chat') -- Not needed if already included, or part of the file.
if rollinfo then
    add_to_chat(1, string.format("%s provides a bonus to %s. Rolls Size: %s", spell.english:color(258), rollinfo.bonus:color(258), rollsize:color(258)))
    add_to_chat(1, string.format("Lucky roll is %s, Unlucky roll is %s.", rollinfo.lucky:color(258), rollinfo.unlucky:color(258)))
end

This could be possibly be wrong due to a lot of things, but I don't have any of your sample code to determine so this should be a clear enough example.

Used this method as it doesn't limit you to users current colors for chat logs.

       add_to_chat(104, 'Lucky roll is '..tostring(rollinfo.lucky)..', Unlucky roll is '..tostring(rollinfo.unlucky)..'.')
   end

it was this code i had the issue with .. i just needed to change the ingame font colour from the lua ... changing the 104 to 103 changed the font colour from white to yellow... making it easyer to see in game

Understood. I really want sure exactly what was needed, but using the chat library will ultimately give you a lot more flexibility and customization.
