I'm glad you asked!

Pipe codes have been used since Renegade, at least, so around '93? Supported by at least Mystic, Synchronet (turn them on; https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:colors), Enthrall, WWIV, Telegard, Oblivion/2, iNiQUiTY, ...

Synchronet's own color code system, as you can see, is "Ctrl-A" codes, but can also support Celerity and PCBoard style codes.
