If you’re hoping to personalize your name on a Discord server, you’ve come to the right place. Changing the color of your name on a Discord server can be a great way to differentiate between different members. This guide will walk you through the process, outlining the steps to change your name color on both the mobile and PC Discord apps.
The color of a name in a Discord server depends on the assigned roles for each member. In order to change the color of your name or another member’s name, you will first have to add a role for that member to be assigned to. Once the role has been created you can change the color associated with that role, and assign the role to a particular member on the server.

Go to your chosen server > Server Settings > Roles > Create Role > Role Color > Save Changes > Members > Add icon > select new role.
