Excuse me?
so I told ChatGPT to make a Concept about it so here it is: Title: Concept Idea: Lambda Premium (incl. Rainbow Usernames) for Lambda Players

Post Body:
Hey Aaron! I made a concept called Lambda Premium—not a mod yet, just a feature idea pack for Lambda Players / YerMash Edition. Would love feedback.

Core ideas

Extra customization for Lambda NPCs (skins, hats, emotes, dances).

Fun RP tools (dialog lines, gestures, mini-commands).

Optional progression (XP → badges) and cosmetic perks (no gameplay advantage).

“Admin-lite” sandbox toys (teleport, prop packs) gated by server config.

Rainbow Usernames (headline feature)

A cosmetic name-color system with smooth, accessible effects:

Where it shows

Chat, overhead nametags, killfeed, and scoreboard (server can pick locations).

Modes

Smooth Loop: gradient cycles across name.

Presets: Pride sets (Rainbow, Trans, Bi, Pan, Ace, etc.).

Custom Palette: up to 6 HEX colors per user or role.

Static Gradient: no motion (for accessibility or low FPS).

Team/Role Tint: blend with team color to keep readability.

Controls

Per-player toggle, per-role default, server-wide on/off.

Speed (0.1–2.0 cycles/s), direction, easing (linear/sine).

Visibility rules: everyone sees it / Premium-only / staff-only; admin override.

Cooldown on palette/speed changes to prevent spam.

Accessibility

Low-flicker crossfade (updates ~1 Hz).

High-contrast outline/halo so text stays readable on any map.

Motion-off mode (static gradient).

Colorblind-friendly palettes.

Anti-abuse & Performance

Profanity/name filters unaffected.

“Hidden/undercover” roles auto-disable effect.

Client-side rendering with FPS check; auto-fallback to static if needed.

Server Config (Example)
l_premium_rainbow_enabled 1
l_premium_rainbow_locations "chat,nametag,scoreboard"
l_premium_rainbow_speed 0.6
l_premium_rainbow_mode "preset:rainbow" // or preset:trans, custom:#ff6,#6cf,#93f, static:#a3e,#3ea
l_premium_rainbow_allow_roles "donor,moderator,content_creator"
l_premium_rainbow_cooldown 30
l_premium_accessibility_lowflicker 1
l_premium_highcontrast 1

Why Premium?

Purely cosmetic + RP flavor, keeps balance intact.

Gives servers a fun, opt-in way to reward supporters or roles.

Designed with accessibility and readability first.

Would love to hear what’s feasible or if any hooks would help (e.g., LambdaPremiumGetNameColor(ply) so other addons can respect the effect).

Thanks for reading!
