Formatting With New Lines

[cpybus]

I like to format my chat messages using the legal section symbol "§" as I can just write it in-line without concatenating and ChatColor.Color or using the .color(ChatColor) method. However, whenever I use it, the formatting always goes blank when the line skips down to a new line.

This is why you should use the .color() method.
This is not a fanciful issue. Its a minecraft issue, that showed up after the change to the new json chat format

Or you can get the last color of the letter before adding the \n and append that to the new line.

Also .color won't always work, for example if you want to make it dynamic and you do not know the color.

[MiniDigger]

What do you mean with dynamic?

[aaomidi]

Say you want to send this with a chat message, you don't know the color and you want to use the formatting which is provided by the chat event.

Scann the message and convert the code to a ChatColor

Closing this as out of scope, unless anyone wants to discuss special handling of § codes as a possible feature for Fanciful itself.
