Distinguish Sessions With Different Colors

I sometimes have several Claude Code sessions open at once. As I bounce between tmux windows, it can sometimes be tricky to tell them apart at a glance. One way that Claude Code can help with this is with some light styling. You can change the accent color of a session with the /color command.

Run it as is and it will choose a random color to set the session to.

Or you can pick from any of the available colors which it will give you a hint for if you type a space after /color.

/color [red|blue|green|yellow|purple|orange|pink|cyan|default]

I can run the following to set it to cyan:

/color cyan

More details on this kinds of commands can be found in the Commands docs.
