Adding Colors To Config Files

I have tried quite a few things to add colors to my config. But everytime I do it the server deletes the &5 in front of my text which obviously changes it to white this is my code can someone please add the code.

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("info"));
if(player.hasPermission("ginfo.info"))
player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("Info"));
return false;

 

Use this to colorize the message:

Code:java

String info = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', this.getConfig().getString("info"));
player.sendMessage(info);

 

Nope Does not work

 

Does it give errors?

 

Nope but the console does

 

...and what are those errors?

 

Why not just do

Code:

 public String colorize(String string){
    string = string.replace("&", "§");
    return string; // might even be able to do 'return string.replace()'
    } 

then do colorize(plugin.getConfig().getString("info"));
