Guild Wars 2

I know some people write in different colors in the chat and use some “manipulated tooltip” to do so(writing in the color of the tooltip like all their text was the name of an item).

Is there a guide on how to do this?

I had a guildie post it on her wall. You copy a particular code, paste it in, and add your desired text. She found it on Reddit, I think.

There are two methods.

Method one: use a link ingame to state any NPC audio subtitle in a special color.
Note: This one has been patched so the only way to make it work is with /say and it will appear above your head.

Method two: use a link ingame to link an item with the name “[” so you can insert text and top it with a “]” to make it look like an item link.
Note: This one is made using manipulated codes. I’m not sure how to create/find them other than fiddling, but there are definitely more than a few out there.
