Changing prompt line colors

I have the Prompt Newline installed and it correctly triggers on my prompt line for my MUD, which looks like this:

Lywellyn - (203/203 187/187 277/277 13025 3060/21810) visible

I have it set up this way to trigger:

* - (*/* */* */* * */*) *

That way, each value is set to it's own "variable" of sorts.

My question is this: How do I go about coloring the prompt line? I can't do it through the MUD as it takes the prompt line beyond the character limit they have, so I was hoping that MUSHClient would be able to color my prompt (at least, the values I've marked with *) for me.

Any assistance is appreciated!

In your trigger you can omit the original line from output, and then call a script in your script file.

In the script do ColourTell for each wildcard (or thing) that you want coloured in a different way, followed by a Note to end the line. See:
