I know I have to edit the Namecolouring.exe and I read how to do it in the wiki but I still don't understand what i'm supposed to do...

This is how it currently looks:

############################
# Players colorizing section
#   Player name      Name color        Contour color
####################################################
>   cvet             NameCvet          ContourCvet

>   Cracker             NameBlack          ContourBlack
>   Matulaak*      NameRed           ContourRed

Read what is RGB to get new colors, or just visit sites providing RGB codes (e.g. http://www.colorpicker.com/ ), choosing color and writing down values of Red Green Blue for your purple.
In your case you seem to lack NameRed color definition. So it will be:
@ NameRed 190 0 0

how to edit color of factionchat ? i mean of your own name ?

[paragon]

I only know that by changing Faction colors defined as:
}   FactionLawyers    ColorLawyers      ColorLawyersBright
}   FactionBrahmin   ColorBrahmin       ColorBrahminBright
}   FactionFamily    ColorFamily        ColorFamilyBright
}   FactionVtec      ColorVtec          ColorVtecBright
}   FactionLoner     ColorLoner         ColorLonerBright
You will change color in faction chat. I don't know if it's intended behavior or kind of feature-bug.

So basically, you need to change color definitions of color for your faction at this list:
@   ColorLawyers         160 15 160
@   ColorLawyersBright   160 15 160
@   ColorBrahmin         190 0   0
@   ColorBrahminBright   140 0   0
@   ColorFamily          130 90 30
@   ColorFamilyBright    175 120 40
@   ColorVtec            80 170 220
@   ColorVtecBright      80 170 220

AFAIR only first value currently is in use.
of course, this will change default colors of all faction members.

So it should look like this?

[Matulaak]

I figured it out! I was editing the older Namecolorizing.txt from a past update thanks for the help

[paragon]

@   Purple           128 0 255
in this line you says: let word Purple mean 128 0 255

>   Matulaak      NamePurple           ContourPurple
in this line you says: let character with nickname Matulaak has color of name NamePurple.

But there's no such defined color, and your character will be most probably grey.

Defined color (@   Purple) should be same as it's used for the nickname (not NamePurple, but just Purple)

2nd value (ContourPurple) couldn't be set, because game uses 3 contours depending on reputation.

[Matulaak]

How do you get the color while in chat? Mine still seems to be green :/

[paragon]

change @   ColorBrahmin         190 0   0

[Matulaak]

Thank you
