Gradient |CFF Color Tag Generator Webtool -Great for Item Name/Descriptions, Spell Names, Gossip,etc
Due to how TrinityCore has changed over the past year, also Big Thanks to Laurea's research, character strings break after 400 characters. Which is a shame since it used to show 2047 characters without a hitch, Descriptions can do 1023 characters still atleast. As for Skyfire users, you can still display up to 1023 characters in both name and descriptions without any problems. =D If you plan to use this tool, then it's up to you to make it work for your project and needs. It's beyond my control if this somehow screws up your server. And just a heads up, atleast for me, I have not seen color bleeding into the next item or string. Though if you notice this happening, then do as Laurea suggests and end it off with a |r tag.
It's not a single color generator, so if you needed just one color, you can use a normal palette picker website for that to define the Hexidecimal you need such as:
http://www.colorpicker.com/
However if you wanted to do something a bit more crazy and complicated such as Gradients. You'd either have to do it manually(been there), or code your own tool, or modify an existing tool for that like I did.. XD.

My mod outputs |CFF tags. If you use this for Item names/descriptions, make sure you modify the max character limit of your columns as one letter will eat up 11 character spaces. I was going to add a character counter but I never got around to it.
