 MIRC colors that you can use when writing text to channel:

               foreground (fg)     background (bg)
   -------------------------------------------------------
    0          white               light gray   + blinking fg
    1          black               black
    2          blue                blue
    3          green               green
    4          light red           red          + blinking fg
    5          red                 red
    6          magenta (purple)    magenta
    7          orange              orange
    8          yellow              orange       + blinking fg
    9          light green         green        + blinking fg
    10         cyan                cyan         
    11         light cyan          cyan         + blinking fg
    12         light blue          blue         + blinking fg
    13         light magenta       magenta      + blinking fg
    14         gray                black        + blinking fg 
    15         light gray          light gray

 These colors may differ depending on your terminal. In particular
 the meaning for background may be the same as for the foreground
 (bright colors, no blinking), and orange often looks like brown or
 dark yellow.

 How to use these colors ('#' means a number as MIRC color code):
 
 <Ctrl>-b        set bold
 <Ctrl>-c#[,#]   set foreground and optionally background color
 <Ctrl>-o        reset all formats to plain text
 <Ctrl>-v        set inverted color mode
 <Ctrl>-_        set underline
 <Ctrl>-7        same as <Ctrl>-_
 
 To reset a mode set it again, f.e.
   <Ctrl-C>3<Ctrl-V>FOO<Ctrl-V>BAR
 creates black on green FOO followed by a green on black BAR
