You type this character ^ with a number after it. And you have to type that character anytime you want to do a color change.

IE:
^3[TBAR]^2Booger^1Bomb will make the [TBAR] part yellow, the Booger part green, and the Bomb part red.

When typing it in console using /name you will not see the number after you hit the number, it will backspace and start typing in that color.

The numbers go up to 8 and aside from the 3 numbers above I have no clue what color the other 5 numbers are.

I actually use letters for colors, like Z is green, K is blue I believe, Q is red, and H is white, err I think... Ehh I'll go experiment and get back to ya after I write it down.. ok maybe I wont get back to you cause I'm feeling so lazy, I just got off work :P
but you can use letters, just experiment

heres a direct help page on colors from wolfenstein for dummies...

Seta name "^1Sgt. Snuffy"

The first line sets your name. The color for each letter is denoted by a "^" and number. My name, "Sgt. Snuffy", is all red letters so I only use a "^1" in front of the first letter. The numbers corresponding to the other colors are:

0 - Black (in order to use black names in RTCW, you will need to add an additional ^ in front of the letters you want to be black so my name would look like ^^0Ifurita. If you want to make your name black so that it's harder for others to see you, cheat properly and call yourself '.' otherwise be prepared for people to give you a little grief)
1 - Red
2 - Green
3 - Yellow
4 - Blue
5 - Cyan
6 - Magenta
7 - White

Some mods (OSP) and games (Enemy Territory) have an extended color set. You can find a nice little applet here (http://boozze.iglobal.be/?page=16) to help you choose colors.

You can also use these codes directly in the Setup:Player line where you first entered your name -- I just like to manage everything though my autoexec.

Go to the Portable Name Caddy for a nice tool to format your name. As you select characters and colors, you will see the coding for this appear in the top-most window. When you are done, copy and paste this line of code into your autoexec.cfg at the line seta name "(paste your code here)".

I won't address name animations here because personally I'm not fond of them and wish that people would stop using them.
