    Suggestion:
    A notification saying when colors are available in chat again and/or a command to see how much time is left (like /color - /colour)

    Reason:
    Anyone who has access to it has posted a colorful ad before the 10 min cooldown, just to see the full gray ad. This will help know when it can be used again

    Other Information:
    Not really

    Link to this plugin/Is this a custom addition?:
    Something similar to the MCmmo timer or something

    +1 I hate posting a color ad in grey 5 seconds before my cooldown is up. (Side note: the cooldown is 10 mins not 15 mins :p)

    If I had a dollar for every time I posted an ad thinking the cooldown was over, I would have $58.

    yep. but only if they make /colour and option because technically colour is part of English, just the different (and better) version of it.

    I agree, your message should not go through if you have color but are currently under a timer.
    This simply wastes your trade channel slot requiring you to wait another 5 minutes before posting again. (And sucks if you were just mere seconds away from your timer reset.)

    We have not implemented code to block the message from going through if both the following are true:
    - If message contains color codes.
    - If message is still on timer cooldown.

    This will be live on the server following the next maintenance period. :)
