(Breadcrumb) `EntityTag.name` not displaying name color for NPCs

[untold thunder]

Not sure if this is Denizen or Citizens, but I am using Denizen to adjust the name and narrate it so I thought to put it in #1026104994149171200.
The <EntityTag.name> tag does not seem to return the color code of the name but adjusting it with color does change the color of the NPC's name.

I think this is a bug as I remember it used to show the color, but I'm not sure if that has changed or moved or anything so I'm going to keep it as a help thread.

Logs: https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/104790
I created a new NPC to test it out, but I guess that didn't get included in the logs :(

Screenshot included to show that the NPC's name is gold, but the name narrated is white (if that's any help at all lol. probably isn't helpful but still).

(Breadcrumb) EntityTag.name not displaying name color for NPCs

changed the name because it seemed like a better fit ¯_(ツ)_/¯

oooh wait am i supposed to be using .display_name

time to tias

jk that's for players

using .custom_name seems to have the color included

[safe flax]

is it

!t npc.display_name

Cannot Find Searched Tag

Unknown tag.

Possible Confusion

Did you mean to search for playertag.display_name?

[safe flax]

!t npctag.nickname

[oblique sapphire]

Tag: <NPCTag.nickname>

Returns the NPC's display name, as set by the Nickname trait (or the default NPC name).

Returns

ElementTag

[untold thunder]

still has no color, but that might be because the NPC does not have the Nickname trait and so it went with the default name that does not have color

(?)
