==Escape Sequences==
;''Description''
It is possible to control the text in the MessageFrame with escape sequences in text
 
===Set Color===
Syntax:
|cAARRGGBB  colored text 
Example:
|cFFFF0000This Will Be In Red
 
 
===Remove Color===
Syntax:
|cAARRGGBB  colored text  |r  uncolored text

Any of the parameters after text are optional. The hold time should also be set however, otherwise the message will remain within the ScrollingMessageFrame until it is scrolled up past the lines specified in the frame, or until you exit the game.
