Bukkit is the name of a popular API that is widely used in the servers of Minecraft. This one provides a platform for adding your own code to the game, usually in the form of plugins or mods. If you are relatively new using it, you will have to know that the color codes are slightly different. You are able to find the Bukkit color codes for Minecraft on this page.
Keep in mind that Bukkit color codes do not require as much input as vanilla color codes. They are much simpler to use, and do not require any weird text symbols. Below you are able to find all of the available Bukkit colors along with their representative code.

Those Bukkit color codes are able to be used in a number of things across your Bukkit server. They are usually used to format MOTD messages and welcome messages. Aside from that, they are also able to be used with any plugins that send messages to the chatboard of your server.
In fact, making your text stand out will help your users quickly distinguish what a message is before actually reading it. This one is important to establish a good standard so that your chat box stays nice and tidy.
For those who are still unsure about how to use these Bukkit color codes, do not worry. Here are a few examples to understand the concept.

The main idea here is to add the color codes before your message. All the things following the color or formatting code will use that color or format. You are able to switch codes mid-messages by entering the new code.
Minecraft Bukkit, Worldguard, and MOTD color code charts are proper code formatting for different Minecraft elements. The Bukkit color codes are usually used to create colored text on signs. Worldguard colors are able to be used on things like greeting or farewell messages that will display when a player enters or exits a region. MOTD colors are usually used exclusively when making your server message.
