Hi,

this feature is coming from a plugin `discourse-bbcode-color`, the change to make it work is very simple, we only need to add `bbcode-color` in this list: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/blob/main/app/models/chat\_message.rb#L135](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/blob/main/app/models/chat_message.rb#L135)

However I don’t want to pollute chat with plugin specifics so we will have to create a simple plugin API to allow plugins to insert themselves in the list.

I’m sorry this won’t be on top of the priorities, I will mark it as #pr-welcome though. Let me know if someone starts working on it, I can offer guidance. I will also reclassify this as a feature and not a bug.

Thanks for the report.
