Lets see, if the player has color turned off (most likely using raw telnet),
dont send anything at all. If they are using a client that doesn't support
color, it probably doesn't have triggers. Otherwize, send it as black.
I don't know, but ive never seen anyone using a non-black background.
Should they be able to see the character, that is because they are doing
something, and the normal player will not be affected.
