The server "splash screen", the MOTD, is currently just a text file. Can we add color to it somehow? Maybe in-place color codes or something? I'd be happy to write a program to create these files if I was given the specifications. I know, it would break clients, but perhaps a message at the top saying "Upgrade your client if the rest of this screen is garbled" would do the trick.

You would first need to invents some form of color code parser.

The issue of the clients is trivial, it can be set by the client response to the server, and color code sequenncing "turned off" if the client is in caapable of  displaying it.

Since the server sends the entire thing under one attribute now,  modifying that code to simply send different attributes is trivial.
