| ColourTell("silver", "", string.format(" %-15s %3d %4d ", name, self.vials[name] or 0, self.sips[name] or 0))
Can someone help me break apart the string format so that I could colour the variables "name" and "self.sips[name]" differently? | | Top |

| ColourTell takes groups of arguments, eg.
ColourTell ("silver", "", name,
"gold", "", self.vials[name] or 0,
"blue", "", self.sips[name] or 0)
You might need to add some spaces, but that is the general idea.
