In this comprehensive guide, we‘ll explore multiple methods for changing your Twitch name color on both desktop and mobile. Whether you want to stand out or seamlessly match your existing brand, we‘ve got you covered.
Why Should Entrepreneurs Change Twitch Name Colors?
With over 30 million daily active users, Twitch offers massive opportunities for customer acquisition and brand-building. But the platform is also highly competitive.
Customizing your name color allows entrepreneurs to:
- Attract Viewers: The right color contrast stands out in busy chats and directories
- Build Recognition: Regulars come to associate you with a signature color
- Convey Professionalism: Matching your wider branding looks polished
- Prompt Interaction: Color-coded chat roles like "Streamer" draw attention
In fact, 87% of consumers say color is the primary reason they notice a new brand.
With so much potential value, let‘s look at how to change your Twitch name color.
Via Desktop Site
You have two options for changing name colors on a desktop – Chat Identity settings or chat commands.
Chat Identity Method
The Chat Identity settings allow entrepreneurs to permanently customize name colors. Here‘s how:
- Log into Twitch and access your profile menu
- Click "Settings" then select "Chat Identity"
- Under "Username Color Setting", enter a hex code or choose a preset color
- Hit "Save" to confirm the updated name color selection
Now your new brand color will appear across Twitch chats.
Pro Tip: Use a color meaning chart to select a shade that conveys your brand identity.
Chat Command Approach
You can also use in-chat commands to temporarily change name colors:
- Join any Twitch stream chat while logged in
- Type "/color " followed by a valid 6-character hex code
- Such as
/color 52A5FFfor Vivid Blue - Your entrepreneur username will now display in that color
Think of it like changing outfits – swap colors to match different streams.
Example brand color change via Chat Identity
Both options allow entrepreneurs to fine-tune branding across Twitch chats. But additional customization is possible on mobile too.

You can also update name colors directly through the iOS and Android apps:
