Changing an item name in an other one IN COLOR

Hello everyone,
So I have a server and we had an awesome idea : Create a lot of new item and rename it with color like orange, green etc... For make a "RPG" side. So we have already the Anvil for rename the item and it appear to be easy to add a color to the item, but never created a bukkit plugin. I've tried a simple thing in 15 min but it finally seem too hard and so I post here for search help on the question :

How can I add color to the renamed tool ? Just that

Here is my try ( xD I know this is bad coded ) :

Code:

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args)
    {
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("rename"))
        { 
            if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
                sender.sendMessage("This command can only be run by a player.");
            }
            else
            {
                ChatColor color = ChatColor.getByChar(args[1]);
                Player player = (Player) sender;
                PlayerInventory inventory = player.getInventory();
                ItemStack itemstack = inventory.getItemInHand();
           
                if (itemstack != null)
                {
                    String itemname = itemstack.toString();
                    String coloreditemname = color + itemname;
                    itemname = coloreditemname;
                }
            }
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

 

you might be able to by adding a color code
eg "§f" = white "§4" = red
§ is types by holding alt and typing 0167 on the numpad
any of "0123456789abcdef" can be used after §

you could also use ChatColor.RED etc

 

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
  if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("rename")){
    if(sender instanceof Player){
      Player p = (Player)sender;
      if(p.hasPermission("Renamer.rename")||p.isOp()){
        if(p.getItemInHand()!=null&&args.length>0){
          StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
          for(String s: args){
            sb.append(s).append(" ");
          }
          Map<Enchantment, Integer> enchants = new HashMap<Enchantment, Integer>();
          enchants = p.getItemInHand().getEnchantments();
          ItemStack iss = p.getItemInHand();
          CraftItemStack css = new CraftItemStack(iss);
          net.minecraft.server.ItemStack nms = css.getHandle();
          NBTTagCompound tag = nms.tag;
          tag = new NBTTagCompound();
          tag.setCompound("display", new NBTTagCompound());
          nms.tag = tag;
          tag = nms.tag.getCompound("display");
          tag.setString("Name", sb.toString().replaceAll("&", "§"));
          nms.tag.setCompound("display", tag);
          for(Enchantment e: enchants.keySet())
            css.addUnsafeEnchantment(e, enchants.get(e));
          p.getInventory().setItemInHand(css);
          returntrue;
        }else{
          p.sendMessage("§cYou must provide a name and be holding an item.");
        }
      }
    }
  }
returntrue;
}
