Solved using & as a color code in config

So, I have this code here

Code:

ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&').

and this code here,

Code:

sender.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("privateclear-message").replace("%PLAYERNAME%", p.getName()));

How would I combine the two codes?

UPDATE: I have solved this myself
Heres the code for anyone else wondering

Code:

 sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("config-message").replace("%PLAYERNAME%", p.getName())));
