How to accept color codes via a java telnet client

[DSaba10]

I have a telnet client that was created with java, but if colors are sent with the text, (It's mainly used as a MUD client) it will not process them. Is there any easy way to handle this? I have a bit of java coding experience, but not enough to handle that sort of thing.. If I knew what I was looking for I could probably get it done though.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I guess the first step would be to identify exactly how the color codes are being sent across the connection. Are they RGB values? Are they encapsulated within a message containing other text?
