That text.dat string is used when sbbs writes to the the (legacy) data/logon.lst. The colors you see when you login are likely from the logonlist.js module, which parses the data/logon.json file and uses the [logonlist] last_few_callers_fmt value from ctrl/modopts.ini to display the eached logged login. This format is different than the text.dat string since it supports more login-types.
So in short, set [logonlist] last_few_callers_fmt instead. The default format can be seen in exec/logonlist.js.
