Sable supports global name colors, allowing users to set custom colors for their display names across rooms and spaces.

​
Global Name Colors

Global name colors were introduced in version 1.1.3. When enabled, Sable displays usernames with their configured colors throughout the interface, including:
  • Chat messages
  • Member lists
  • Pinned messages
  • User profiles

​
Enabling or Disabling Name Colors

You can control whether name colors are displayed:
  1. Open Settings
  2. Navigate to the Appearance tab
  3. Toggle the Global name colors option
When disabled, usernames will display in the default text color for your theme.

​
colorMXID Support

Sable fully supports the colorMXID specification, which allows users to set custom colors for their display names using Matrix account data.

​
Color Hierarchy

Colors are applied based on the following hierarchy (from highest to lowest priority):
  1. Room color - Color set specifically for a room (using /color command)
  2. Space color - Color set for a space (using /gcolor command)
  3. Role color - Color based on power level or room permissions
  4. Default - The theme’s default text color

​
Setting Your Name Color

If you have the appropriate permissions (power level 50 or higher), you can set your name color in a room or space: 
/color #ff5733
For spaces: 
/gcolor #3498db
Name colors set via these commands require the Cosmetics permission in the room or space settings.
