To be honest, this is a weird bug, and I feel like it's the result of utilizing a feature where it wasn't meant to be used.

So I just figured out you can change text color with [c/FF0000: text] so I tried it on item and NPC names using a language pack.

Items: the code works correctly in the inventory. However, when picking up the item, it shows the actual code.

NPCs: the colors display correctly in the world, in the map and in the chat. However, when viewing the NPC from the Bestiary, the name is moved to the left, although it still shows the color.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

Color tags in item and npc names are not supported and only sometimes work by "accident"

So do you know how I would go about changing the text color if not from using a hexadecimal tag? Ive seen other resource packs change the font color

Also how do Calamity items even if Rarity color is one color have the name in another color?

Calamity is a mod and can do whatever it wants in the game

Nah, I just gave up and never used this feature again. If you do find the solution please let me know.
