+  Color output customization.
+
+  The "color" command lets you customize the color of various game
+  elements on an account-wide basis. Colors are shared by all
+  characters on the same account.
+
+  Usage:
+    color                     List all targets and their current values
+    color <target>            Show current color for a target
+    color <target> <string>   Set a custom color
+    color <target> reset      Reset to server default
+    color <target> off        Disable color for this target entirely
+
+  Color string format (space-separated tokens):
+    fg=<color>   Foreground color
+    bg=<color>   Background color
+    bold         Bold text
+    dim          Dim text
+    italic       Italic text
+    underline    Underlined text
+
+  Example: fg=green bg=black bold
+
+  Available color names:
+    black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white,
+    bright_black, bright_red, bright_green, bright_yellow,
+    bright_blue, bright_magenta, bright_cyan, bright_white
+
+  Color targets:
+    room_name      Room name headers
+    room_number    Room number display (#id)
+    room_desc      Room description text
+    direction      Movement direction text ("You walk north")
+    exit_direction Exit direction labels (north, south, etc.)
+    exit_name      Exit destination room names
+    mob_name       Mob names in combat
+    friendly_npc   Friendly NPC names (cannot be attacked)
+    hostile_npc    Hostile NPC/mob names in room listings
+    damage         Damage numbers
+    enemy_hp       Enemy HP in combat messages
+    character_hp   Your HP in combat messages
+    xp             XP gain messages
+    level_up       Level-up announcements
+    item           Item names on pickup/drop/gather
+    player_name    Player names in broadcasts
+    death          Death message
+    victory        Combat victory message
+    miss           Miss messages in combat
+    error          Error messages
+
+  Resolution order:
+    1. Account override (set via "color" command)
+    2. Server default (set in config.yaml)
+    3. Built-in fallback
+
+  Auto-colored elements (not configurable):
+    - Object names: colors are set per-object in their YAML definition
+      (fishing spots are blue, rocks are earth-toned, trees are green, etc.)
+    - Item names: colors are set per-item in their YAML definition
+      (ores, logs, fish, tools, etc.)
+    - Mob/player levels: displayed relative to your combat level
+      (red if higher, orange if <5 higher, white if equal,
+       yellow if <5 lower, green if much lower)
+
+  The "color" option (option color none/ansi/xterm256) controls
+  whether ANSI codes are emitted and which mode is used.
+  "none" strips all color; the "color" command settings are
+  still saved but have no visual effect until color mode is
+  enabled.
+
+  You can use color blocks in your prompt using the same format:
+    option prompt {fg=green bold}Ready>{/} %h/%Hhp
+  See 'help prompt' for full prompt customization.
