You have differents options for announces. The best is to use the hexadecimal colors system :

announce "TEXT",0,0xFF6600;

The FF6600 contains the color, change it for get a new color : http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html

How get every 3 hours ? You can use a sleep2; command :

- script announcer-script -1,{
OnInit:
sleep2 10000;
donpcevent "announcer::OnEvent";
sleep2 10800000;
donpcevent "announcer::OnInit";
end;
OnEvent:
switch(rand(1,5)){
case 1:
announce "This is announcement one.",bc_all,bc_yellow;
break;
case 2:
announce "This is announcement two.",bc_all,bc_blue;
break;
case 3:
announce "This is announcement three.",bc_all,bc_yellow;
break;
case 4:
announce "This is announcement four.",bc_all,bc_blue;
break;
case 5:
announce "This is announcement five.",bc_all,bc_yellow;
break;
}
}

You may also simply change each announcement line to:

announce "This is announcement X.",bc_blue;

But if you want to be more specific with the color, I suggest you go with Aerie's way.

An alternative for having the announcements every 3 hours is to use the OnClock event label.

So something like this:

-    script    announcer-script    -1,{
OnClock0000:
OnClock0300:
OnClock0600:
OnClock0900:
OnClock1200:
OnClock1500:
OnClock1800:
OnClock2100:
switch(rand(1,5)) {

This way you can specify the exact time a random announcement is broadcasted.
