Yes and No. Color display depends on the program showing the text. You can certainly use FileAppend to write text to a file, and if you have (for instance) the proper RichText codes imbedded in the text, then a richtext application (an editor for example) will show the colored text.

But Notepad CANT show text in colors. Thats the problem, not ahk.
You can paste text to a html-file and define there colors of the text. then the text would be colored when the html file generated by ahk would be opened.

How can this be done? Would I just need to look up html code? And how could ahk write to a .html file? I thought it could only write to .txt files.

as was said, the problem is with your text editor, in this case notepad, not with FileAppend command

basic example for html file:

Code:
FileAppend, <font color="red">hi how are you?</font>, xyz.html

Thanks, thats super easy and works well. The only thing is the `n as an enter isn't working. Is there some other way to append an enter character to the .html file?

Yes, there is. You should look into the definition of html-files.
Just google for it.
Or look into here:
