Could be achieved via an in-game UI, BEHOLD MY HORRIBLE UI DESIGN SKILLS!

Capped to 20 colourable characters or something, applies a single colour per character, but if it’s the same colour it’ll render as a range instead.
Colours are referenced by a hexvalue, and those “locked” colours could be unlocked in threes or sixes or whatever for $1 or something small, or awarded per 5 levels.
Displays in-game in the scoreboard and the kill feed.
What do you think?
Isn’t it enough that we have to deal with attention horse with pony names and avatars as it is?
I don’t want them to be further enabled with rainbow colored names.
Besides, I think this is exactly what’s wrong with “gamers” these days.
Offering to pay for something as dumb as this, something that has been free in the past.
People are so used to being ripped off with micro transactions.
if you can disable the colors on your end, what do you care whether other people have them?
Besides, I honestly thought the idea of having to pay to color your nick was trolololol
Not everyone has gun tags ;_;
At least there’ll be a paywall/levelwall, I dunno.
Ridiculous cosmetic features are good sources of money for any free to play game so I thought I’d suggest it just in case nobody had considered it.
Could be unlocked too, I suppose, but why not give people more opportunity to throw money at their screens?
if your money grab is too obvious, people rage and scream P2W and ‘nexon greediness’
“Argh, the small section of the screen with the colours hurts my eyes! It stopped my triple killstreak! It’s a game mechanic to pwn the poor! Pay to win! Pay to win! Pay to win! Down with Nexon!”
Something like that? More pitchforks, maybe?
I imagine there will be lots of hate from people who play Payday on “Bastard” too.
I like the idea of colored names. Don’t know about paying, but in my opninion they should be added.
I would like colored names as I come from Q3 and you could get quite creative with your team colors.
I’d also like to have more than 4 characters for a clan tag. Splash Damage, you used to play against us in the ET beta all the time and we were smf>>. But right now all I can do is smf>. Basically, SD, you’re killing me here Smalls!!! 
I loved coloured names back in the days. But somehow, recent steam-linked account might have ruined this forever…
If there is a client-side option to disable them, fine. Otherwise, not in my backyard please. Colored names make my eyes bleed… :s
