colored usernames?

why do some people have colored usernames (besides the mods)
do they use hex codes or whatever? or is it given to them?

Red is admin, blue is moderator, green is retired staff, black is member, brown is banned. Another colour would be grey, which is restricted (or cursed).

Brown can also mean someone who hasn't had their account activated yet.
