It's IRC, there is no color and smilies and all that crap from Y! chats. You can change your own colors manually, if you get a client like mIRC. It will change it for your computer only, and if you want other people to see color, you Ctrl+k to change your color temporarily. Again, if you want it "aesthetically pleasing" for yourself change the colors in mIRC by pressing the little button that looks like crayons, and you can change it all you want.
