Much to my embarrassment, while I was mid-complaint about my new wall of Valheim storage chests, a fellow Viking hit me with, "You know you can color code those signs, right?" Duh, of course I know that. Well, I swear I did, but totally forgot about the handy feature that doesn't require a single mod. In case you forgot too, I'm here to remind you—or teach you a quick tip for organizing Valheim storage with colorful text codes for signs. Codes for sign colors(Image credit: Iron Gate Studios)You can change a sign's text color in Valheim through markup codes. For those even vaguely familiar with traditional HTML, you won't need to close these style commands, but keep in mind you still have limited text space on a sign, so keep them short.

It's a fairly straightforward process, but I'll leave you with a few extra color-changing tips: Some of the color names listed above work in place of their hex codeIf using a color name, remove '#' and replace it with 'color='Example: Red becomes Red signCodes for sign text size and style(Image credit: Iron Gate Studios)Other markup attributes from the Unity guide also work in Valheim.

I find the W3 Schools chart to be the most helpful, but they don't all work, so I've included a few below for reference.
