Change Chinese colour by tone
How to change the color of Chinese text based on tone?
With this resource you can enter Chinese text and the text will change depending on the tone colors. The tone colors will follow this pattern: red (1st tone), yellow (2nd tone), green (3rd tone), blue (4th tone) and black (neutral tone). It can be difficult to learn which character has which of the 4(5) tones in Chinese, so the colors will help you to remember them!
Be aware that with some characters with more than one tone/pronunciation it may not show the right color.
