Why does the API want a number instead of hex?

Discord stores a colour as one RGB integer. Hex #414df2 and 4279794 are the same value written two ways.

What does colour 0 mean?

For a role, 0 means no colour, so the name keeps the default. Pure black is 1.

Yes. It works in your browser, free and with no account.

Does what I type go anywhere?

No. The tool computes everything in the browser and sends nothing.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The tool runs in the browser, so opening the page is enough.

Does the tool remember what I type?

No. The tool stores nothing, neither in your browser nor on our server. Reload the page and you start afresh.

Where do I find similar tools?

In the Discord category: timestamps, permissions, embeds, slash commands and bot invites.

Can I suggest a change or a new tool?

Yes, write through the contact form or on the VulCode Discord. Describe what the tool should give you.

Six colours turned into a number for the API

Discord stores a role colour as one RGB number: red times 65536, green times 256, plus blue. The expected column works it out straight from the channels.

Where the role colour shows

Discord stores a colour as one RGB integer, so #414df2 and 4279794 are the same value. A role in this colour paints the name in the member list and on every message.
