Add color to (damage) output (5e OGL)

The macro: &{template:atkdmg} {{mod=mod}} {{rname=rname}} {{r1=r1}} {{always=1}} {{r2=r2}} {{attack=1}} {{range=range}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=dmg1}} {{dmg1type=dmg1type}} {{dmg2flag=1}} {{dmg2=[[1d8]]}} {{dmg2type=dmg2type}} {{crit1=crit1}} {{crit2=crit2}} {{charname=charname}} I want to add color to the {{dmg2=[[1d8]]}} without loosing the ability to hover over the number and see what has been rolled. When I put  [ [[1d8]] ](#" style="color:blue;) around the inline roll it makes a roll, but the output of the number is different AND one cannot hover over the number to see what it rolled. Anyway to fix this?

In general - no, you lose all of that information when you turn the roll into a link. But you can achieve blue with [[1d8cs>0cf>0]] if that helps at all?

Nice Oosh, it works in the template under the "r1 and r2 output" but unfortunately not the dmg-output. I am creating a "Chaos Bolt" spell macro . Do you know by chance whether it is possible (without API) to roll 2d8, and if both dice rolls the same number it will show as a critical or failure (just so it stands out in the color). I have tried looking into "dice reference" but unsuccessful. The solution I've come up with is this:

You're right, I'd never noticed the crit coloring is disabled in the dmg template - you might need to switch to another one if you want any coloring to happen (unless you're using Sylus, you can switch it back on). This should work, though: [[1d8cf0cs[[1d8cs0cf0]]]] + $[[0]] The coloring is disabled on the second die. If the first one is green, it means they match.
