| This is a bit of a late reply, but I was just wondering how to do this myself.
If you're using Simulate() to test triggers rather than add a note (for which, like Nick said, it's easier to use a note function), you can insert ANSI sequences to add colour and other ANSI-ish-things. This is very useful when testing colour triggers.
The easiest way to insert ANSI sequences in MUSHclient is to use its ANSI() function. For instance, to test bold green text:
Simulate (ANSI(1,32) .. "Hello! I'm bold green.\n" .. ANSI(0))
See http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?function=ANSI for for more information and the ANSI colour codes. | | Top |

In my earlier reply I had forgotten about NoteStyle - this lets you do italic, bold, inverse and underlined text for the next note (until the end of the current line).

You are right, Simulate is appropriate for testing triggers (or you can use the Game menu -> Test Trigger dialog).
To simply display coloured text (eg. in a trigger) it is better to use ColourNote, Note, ColourTell, in conjunction with NoteStyle if required.
