Best Twitch name colors

I have seen users who are very keen to know the best twitch name colors so that they can also try the same.

Let me be honest with you there is no such list of the best name colors in twitch.

But yes there are few recommendations and even some most used colors that you can try.

If you do not have twitch turbo or prime you can go with the 3 most used colors.

• Firebrick
• Green
• BlueViolet

If you have twitch turbo or prime and have access to all colors then you can try these hex color code

• #6441a5 (Blue Magenta ) same as Twitch color
• #9bbe5a (Celery Green)
• #5F9EA0 (Cadet blue)

Now, these are few suggestions so always remember it's all up to you which colors suit your eyes.

It should be readable text so that either streamer or their mods can quickly see it.

More name colors with Twitch Turbo and Prime

So once you come to twitch mostly as a viewer to watch streams you may have noticed some users enjoying more features than you.

Features like twitch name colors, no ads, name badges, and many other perks.

There are few features or I can subscriptions that twitch provides call Twitch turbo and Twitch prime

What is Twitch Turbo?

Twitch Turbo is an upgraded feature which is on twitch for a long time.

You need to buy a twitch turbo subscription for $8.99 per month that will give you access to extra benefits and features like

• No ads while viewing twitch streams
• More Twitch Emotes
• Chat Badge
• Custom Chat name colors
• Extended Broadcast Storage (for streamers)

  

  What is Twitch Turbo

To enjoy these benefits you can have the twitch turbo subscriptions.

My recommendation is that you should only go for this if you are a regular viewer on twitch.

What is Twitch Prime?

Twitch Prime is another subscription where you can link amazon prime with a twitch to get access to extra content and perks.

You can have extra name colors on twitch chat and name badges as well.

There are few differences between twitch turbo and prime.

How to Get a Glowing Name on Twitch?

If you have been on Twitch for a long time you must have seen users with a glowing name on the Twitch chat.

Though there was no such option from twitch to have a glowing name.

BetterTTV supported this feature and helped users to have a glowing username.

Unfortunately, this feature is no longer available and I am still wondering why this feature was removed, probably done by twitch.

There is an option that you can try that will make Twitch's name glowing but won't be easily readable.

How to get a glowing name on twitch

You need to disable the option of "Readable Colors"

• Open Twitch chat settings by clicking on the gear icon located beside chat.
• Click on Chat appearance and then disable the option of Readable colors

Let's hope for the best and wait if any such feature comes in the future by any third-party extensions or by twitch.

Twitch Color Change Failed

This is another common problem where I have seen lots of users including me have issues while changing twitch username color.

I tried clearing my browser cache, disabling BTTV extensions and even tried switching to a different browser but nothing worked.

The main cause I found behind the failure of twitch name color is while doing this with Chat Identity.

So you can try 2 solutions that worked for me and many other users.

1. Refresh the twitch page and check if this fixed the problem, if not
2. Use the command method to change the twitch name color that I have explained above how to change your twitch name color.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How to get a white name on twitch?

To get a white color name you need either twitch turbo or prime as white color is not available in the normal Twitch Identity.

Once you have the Twitch turbo or prime subscription, the "Prime gaming" section will be added to the twitch chat settings.

You can click on the Chat settings gear ⚙️ icon and then click on Prime Gaming. Here you can choose the white color for your twitch name.

You can also use the command of /color along with white hex color code #ffffff
Type /color #ffffff and then confirm the color.

What are GREY names on Twitch? Why is my twitch namegrey?

Recently many users reported that why is my twitch name grey which is not easy to read.
Some people also tried changing their color but still, it sticks to a grey color.

However, it seems like a bug from Twitch and to fix this problem you can try

       – Changing color from command method as shown above
       – Try changing the twitch color name in Incognito mode
       – Clear browser cache and cookies
       – Use a different browser

Hopefully, the problem of the grey color on twitch will be fixed.

Conclusion

Hopefully, you know both the methods that how to change your twitch name color in 2021.

The reason why I shared these 2 methods is as many times one of the options doesn't work and so you can try with others.

There are limited colors for the basic twitch users which I guess is enough until and unless you are too active on twitch or wish to appear different than the basic users.
