TL;DR

Allow the server message text color to be changed

What ?

In multiplayer servers, players are permitted to set their color, but the server cannot. This is less than ideal as the default color for the server blends in to the grass and can be very difficult to read. Allowing the host to change the server color, or at the very least change it to something else, would be appreciated.

Why ?

If a server sends an important message to players, even with the audio notification it can be easy to miss the message. This is only made worse if, for example, you have an external bot relaying chat messages from a 3rd party program. This would improve the quality of life for all multiplayer servers.

Agreed, would be really useful for me right now. That greyish is really getting lost.
