Are you an active Twitch player looking to upgrade your setup? Twitch has a variety of features that streamers and viewers alike can utilize. One of these fun features is changing the color of your Twitch chat. Since this feature changes your entire chat box, your username and the text you write in the chatbox will also be different.

In this article, you will learn how to change the chat color in Twitch on any device you might use. This includes customizing your Twitch chat color on your PC, iPhone, or Android device.

How to Change the Chat Color in Twitch on a PC

When using Twitch on a PC, you can opt for the desktop website or the desktop Twitch application. In both of these cases, changing the chat color is the same.

1. Log in to your Twitch account through either the website or your app.
   
2. Start a new chat in which you want to change the chat color.
   
3. Click on the “Gear” icon, also known as the “Chat Settings.” Look for this icon at the bottom of the chatbox.
   
4. Find the “Identity” section.
   
5. Click the Identity section and scroll down to get 15 different color options under the “Name Color” tab.
   
6. Decide a color and click on it, and your Twitch chat color will change instantly!
   

The best part is that you can try out all of the colors as many times as you wish. Give each color a try by adding comments to the chatbox to decide which color suits your gaming style.

How to Change the Chat Color in Twitch Using Commands

Since this method doesn’t have the “Settings” icon available, you must use specific commands. A great thing about this method is that it works on all devices, whether you’re using a PC or a mobile device.

Surprisingly, this method is also the simplest one:

1. Type a text command in the chatbox while you are chatting. This command is ‘’/color ‘’ with the name of your desired color.
   
2. Press the “Enter” key, and your Twitch chat color will change.
   

The only downside of this method is that you do not have a list of colors, and you have to know their names.

Here is a list of the available Twitch chat color names:

• /color Red
• /color Blue
• /color Green
• /color Firebrick
• /color Coral
• /color Goldenrod
• /color BlueViolet
• /color Chocolate
• /color CadetBlue
• /color YellowGreen
• /color SeaGreen
• /color DodgerBlue
• /color SpringGreen
• /color OrangeRed
• /color HotPink

As a Twitch Prime or Turbo user, you will have even more options to change your Twitch chat color. You will get more than 15 possible options and the full RGB color scale.

Change the Chat Color in Twitch on the Desktop App or Website as a Prime or Turbo User

When using Twitch Prime or Turbo on the Desktop app or website, you can change your chat color by following the steps below:

1. Click on the “More Colors” options in the “Name Color” section. It’s right next to the basic 15 available colors.
   
2. Use the color picker box to choose your favorite color.
   
3. Drag your mouse over the color scale to see all the different shades.
   
4. Once you settle on a color, click “Confirm Color” to save the changes.
   

An amazing feature that Prime and Turbo users have is the ability to preview their selected colors. Also, you will get to see a preview of your desired color in both Dark and Light modes.

Change the Chat Color in Twitch on a Mobile Device as a Prime or Turbo User

Changing the chat color is pretty straightforward if you utilize the Twitch Mobile App as a Prime or Turbo user. All you need to do is follow the steps below:

1. Type a simple command in the chatbox and press the “Enter” key.
   
2. The command you will need is ‘’/color’’ and the hex number of your desired color.
   

Hex numbers are color codes that consist of 6 numbers or symbols. You can find these codes by looking them up online.

For example, if you want to change your Twitch chat color to purple, you should type ‘’/color 800080’’ in your chatbox. Here are some other codes for common colors:

• Black #000000
• Blue #0000FF
• Gray #808080
• Green #008000
• Red #FF0000
• White #FFFFFF

Express Yourself With Twitch Chat Colors

When changing your chat color, remember that it can take a few seconds to adjust. If your app is not updated, it might even take a few minutes for the changes to take effect. To expedite the color change process, ensure that your app is up-to-date before playing around with the chatbox colors.

Once you choose and confirm your desired color, you won’t need to refresh your chat. The update will happen on its own.
