Hey there! Let's break down what you can do here, since this is a common limitation with Discord embeds.

First, a key fact to know: You can't directly set custom text colors for standard code blocks (```) in Discord embeds. Discord's rendering engine enforces default styles for code blocks, and no Discord API wrapper (including the one you're using) lets you override this—it's a platform-level restriction.

But don't worry, there are workarounds to get a similar effect:

Workaround 1: Replace Code Blocks with Rich Text Formatting #

Instead of wrapping your help text in a code block, use Discord's built-in text formatting (bold, italic, etc.) to highlight different argument types. This avoids the code block's style limitations while still making your help text clear:

help = discord.Embed(
    description="""*@ = discord.user*
**() = required argument**
[] = optional argument""",
    color=colour
)

Here, we use italics for the user mention syntax and bold for required arguments to create visual hierarchy, which pairs nicely with your embed's custom color.

Workaround 2: Use Syntax-Highlighted Languages to Simulate Color #

While you can't pick arbitrary colors, you can leverage Discord's syntax highlighting for specific languages to get different text colors. For example, using the diff language will color lines starting with - red and + green. You can adjust your help text to fit this pattern:

help = discord.Embed(
    description="""```diff
- @ = discord.user
- () = required argument
+ [] = optional argument
```""",
    color=colour
)

This gives you colored text within a code block-like container, which might be exactly what you're looking for. Just keep in mind that Discord's syntax highlighting rules can change, so this isn't a permanent, guaranteed solution.

At the end of the day, if you need strict control over text colors, Workaround 1 is more reliable. If you really want the code block aesthetic, Workaround 2 is the closest you'll get.
