# Add Color to Signs
You can add colors to signs in two different ways.
### Option 1: Dyes and Glow Squid Ink
Click on a sign with a dye color of your choice.
Click on a sign with a glow squid ink to make the sign brighter.
{% hint style="info" %}
The benefit of this option is that you can color sign shop signs, which cannot use the second option.
{% endhint %}
### Option 2: Commands
The benefit of using commands is that you can add more than one color to a sign, and even could do more than one color on each line of a sign.
To use the command colors, do command space text (example: \[&1 dark blue text] would show dark blue text that says dark blue text)
Any colors with \* means that it only works on bedrock versions of Minecraft (and not our java version server).
