How to make multi-colored text in Photoshop
Author: Olga Maksimchuk (Princypessa). Date of publication: August 18, 2021. Category: Photoshop tutorials text.
Hi all!
Today we will create text entwined with colorful lines.
The lesson is quite simple and perfect for people who are just starting to learn Photoshop.
First we will create a new document, install the font from the source folder and write the text.
Then we will create several copies of the text layer and move each copy 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right.
Next, we will merge all copies of the text layer into one, lower the layer's transparency and apply the Motion Blur filter.
After that, using the Pen tool, we will draw a path, stroke the path, create a duplicate of the layer with the path and change the color of the lines.
To conclude the lesson “ How to make multi-colored text in Photoshop ,” we will fill the background layer with beige.
Create a new document in Photoshop (Ctrl+N) with parameters as in the figure below.
In the layers panel, click on the “lock” next to the background layer to unlock the layer for further editing.
Rename the background layer to “Background”. To rename a layer, double-click the layer name in the Layers panel, enter a new name and press Enter.
Install the font from the source folder. To do this, right-click on the font file and select “Install”. After this step, the font will be installed simultaneously in Photoshop and the system.
Activate the Text tool. We write the word “Aura”. In the top settings panel of the Text tool, select the font that you set in the previous step, change the fill color to #ff0000, increase the text size and enter the settings as in the figure below. Then click on the symbol panel icon in the top settings panel of the Text tool and set the following settings. Using the Move tool, position the text in the center of the canvas.
In the layers panel, create a duplicate of the text layer (Ctrl+J). Drag the duplicate text layer below the original layer in the Layers panel. Now let's create a duplicate of the duplicate text layer (Ctrl+J). With the Move tool active, move this “duplicate duplicate” text layer 1 pixel to the right and 1 pixel down. To move, use the arrow keys on the keyboard. Again, create a duplicate of the layer that we just moved and move the new copy of the layer 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right. Schematically it looks like this - we create a copy of the layer, move it, then create a duplicate of the layer that we just moved and move it again. We repeat the steps 8-10 times. At this point the canvas will look like this.
In the Layers panel, use the Shift key to select all copies of the text layer, except for the original layer. Right-click on them in the Layers panel and select “Rasterize Text”. Without removing the selection, press Ctrl+E to merge the layers into one. Rename the resulting layer “Shadow”.
In the Layers panel, lower the transparency of the “Shadow” layer.
Go to the menu Filter-Blur-Motion Blur and blur the “Shadow” layer.
Above all the layers, create a new empty layer and call it “Lines”.
Activate the Pen tool. In the top panel of the Pen tool settings, select the path tool type and enter the settings as in the figure below. Draw an arbitrary contour - set control points and, holding down the left mouse button, bend the contour.
Activate the Brush tool and select a hard round brush. If a set with hard round brushes is not currently loaded into the program, right-click on the canvas to bring up the brush selection menu, click on the “gear” on the right and select “Basic Brushes” from the drop-down list. Select the brush marked with the arrow below. In the Color panel, set the foreground color to #65cdfd. Again, go to the Pen tool, right-click on the canvas and select “Stroke path”. In the window that appears, select Brush as the stroke tool. Then right-click on the canvas again and select “Delete Outline.”
In the Layers panel, right-click on the “Lines” layer and select “Create Clipping Mask” from the drop-down list. After this, the layer with lines will seem to be “attached” to the underlying layer (text) and will be visible only within the text layer.
Create a duplicate of the “Lines” layer (Ctrl+J). Rename the duplicate layer “Lines 2”.
In the Layers panel, double-click the “Lines 2” layer to open the Layer Styles.
In the Color Overlay tab, change the hue to #f8e27c and enter the settings as in the image below.
The result after applying layer styles.
Activate the Move tool. Drag the “Lines 2” layer so that both layers with lines do not coincide.
In the color panel, set the foreground color to #fff5d3. Activate the Fill tool. In the layers panel, activate the “Lines” layer and click on the canvas to fill the “Background” layer with the color of the main plan.
The text with lines is ready! The lesson “ How to make multi-colored text in Photoshop ” is completed.
Bright mood and creative success!

How to write messages in different colored letters?
The Discord program does not allow for writing multi-colored messages and texts. But it can be bypassed using simple codes. They are not very convenient to use for chatting, but colored letters will fit perfectly into group announcements, channel descriptions, etc. It is important to remember that colored text is only displayed in the browser or PC version; in the application on the phone it will be gray.
The main way to write multi-colored text is by making changes to the Discord program code. A special block consisting of three lines fits into the chat input window. It begins and ends with the characters "`. Between them are color codes and text that should be displayed.
Multi-colored words are created in two ways. The first is to generate a special file on a PC containing pre-written codes. They are simply copied into the chat window and the desired text is pasted. The second involves entering blocks yourself. Lines are entered sequentially by holding down the “Shift+Enter” keys. This will move the cursor to the next line. After entering the code, pressing “Enter” sends all recorded data, and only the text colored in the selected color is displayed in the chat.
This method is inconvenient because for each message you will have to enter the code block again. The text appears only in a frame; there is no way to remove it. In addition, the codes do not color some characters, punctuation marks and act only on the first words, without highlighting long sentences.
For example, to make the color red in Discord, enter the block line by line:
"`excel
text to display
«`
The markup for the color is indicated immediately after the “`” characters, without a space.
There are also more advanced methods to make colored text in Discord. To do this, use the characters "`. After them, the script language in which the words will be formatted is indicated. This could be cs, diff, md, etc. For example, for blue:
"`md
#text"`
This method allows you to make the text completely multi-colored, but it will be preceded by characteristic characters (like # in the example). Colored words written using this method will also not appear in the mobile application.
Colored text can be formatted to be bold, underlined, or italic. To change the font style, enter the appropriate characters before and after the text:
- **fatty**;
- *italics*;
- ~~crossed out~~;
- _underlined_;
Characters can be combined with each other to create different spelling variations, for example, underlined italics.
Changing the color of the server name
Sooner or later, any administrator wonders how to make a colored Minecraft server name. To cope with the task, you will need the ability to edit a config such as server.properties.
This can only be done using a control panel, for example, on q2e.ru hosting.
- Log in to your hosting.
- Go to the server control panel.
- Next, go to the section with configs and select the above mentioned one.
This opens the main config and you can start editing it.
To change the color of the server name, you will need to edit the motd line. It is responsible not only for the name, but also for the description, which consists of no more than 64 characters. In the special field opposite this line, you should enter commands that look like, for example, /u00A71, which will make the name dark blue.
List of colors
After editing, all settings and changes are saved, and the server must be restarted.
This fairly simple method allows you to change the color of not only the entire name, but even part of it or individual letters.
Changing the color of letters on your phone
As mentioned earlier, the program on the phone does not display colored text in messages. However, this does not apply to nicknames when assigning roles. As in the PC version, only the group administrator or server owner can do this. To color nicknames, you must perform the following steps:
- Open the Discord mobile application and select the one you need from the list of servers.
- In the action menu, find the “Settings” icon.
- Select “Roles” from the list of available options.
- Configure existing roles or create new ones (following the principle described for PC).
- Return to the list of settings and select “Participants”.
- Assign a status to each group member and exit the menu.
After completing all the steps, all that remains is to check the names of the participants. In chat they should become multi-colored.
Applications for color text on Instagram
You can also use special editors for editing stories. All of them have the function of adding text.

How to change the font of a document.
As you know, to format text in our editor, a special ribbon with a wide variety of settings has been created, located at the top of the Microsoft Word program. We need the Home tab. If you have not switched tabs, then Home will be the active one. Let's pay attention to its left side.
By default, the program already has a font installed. If you already know the exact name of the desired font, you can left-click once on the name. The word will be highlighted. All that remains is to enter the desired name and start typing.
If you have to select a font, click on the arrow located next to the font name. A drop-down window will appear with a list of suggested fonts. Again, if at least the approximate name of the font is known, you can simply view the list by sliding the scroller located on the right side of the window and click on the desired name.
In the case when we select from new unfamiliar fonts, select a fragment of the document, call up a drop-down window and move the mouse pointer over the font names. As you move, the selected text fragment will change. We stop at the one we like and click on the name.
Let's color WhatsApp - the messenger's secret feature
The messenger does not have a multi-colored font in its functional arsenal. However, it is quite possible to make life colorful on WhatsApp.
For example, change the background image.
In standard settings, all incoming messages are white, outgoing messages are green, and system notifications are light yellow. You cannot change their color, but you can set the background to your own taste.
To do this you need:
- Go to the messenger settings.
- Go to the “Chats” section, and then to “Topic”. From the presented folders, select “Light”, “Dark” or “Solid Colors”. You can find your own images in the My Photos folder.
- Click on the “Wallpaper” icon and “Change”.
You can place semantic or emotional accents in a message by changing the text font.
Certain combinations of symbols will help with this:
- A “~” sign placed without spaces at the beginning and end of a word will strike out what is written.
- A sentence delimited by a trailing space "_" will be italicized.
- Delimited by asterisks “*” – in bold font.
- Backtick single quotes on both sides `" "` will format the text in the developers' style - in a monospaced font.
