Look up the TO_ROOM code and see if it parses for color codes or not, Im not sure. As for the TO_CHAR, try to TO_CHAR_COLOR instead, I dont believe the TO_CHAR function parses for color codes.

Well, I downloaded smaugfuss, and did this test, to no avail. While I changed it to ACT_SAY instead of ACT_BLUE, to allow the color command to work, it would not accept me putting colors into anything, even from within the game. It looks to me as if the color code is going bad, specifically here:
   bool ansi = FALSE;
   char *sympos = NULL;

   /* No descriptor, assume ANSI conversion can't be done. */
   if( !d )
      ansi = FALSE;
   /* But, if we have one, check for a PC and set accordingly. If no PC, assume ANSI can be done. For color logins. */
   else
   {
      ch = d->original ? d->original : d->character;
      if( ch )
         ansi = ( xIS_SET( ch->act, PLR_ANSI ) );
      else
         ansi = TRUE;
   }
Seems that ansi is being set to false, but my crappy computer keeps bailing out on me, and crashing cygwin, so maybe someone can help from there?
