That won't give the player colour. You need a JASS function like these to get the colour accurate.

Or you can save the colours as a string variable, one for each player.

Example:
Colourstring[1] (red) = |cffFF0000
Colourstring[2] (blue) = |cff0000FF

I don't know the exact codes for the colours, but you get the point.

And then for viewing the string, use Colourstring[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))]

I thought of that but what if player 1 color was changed at initialization to any color that won't work, he will still need a function to get the player color.

You need a Jass function. I suggest this one:

function GetPlayerNameColoured takes player p returns string
    local playercolor pc = GetPlayerColor(p)
    local string s
    if pc == PLAYER_COLOR_RED then
        set s = "|cffFF0202"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_BLUE then
        set s = "|cff0041FF"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_CYAN then
        set s = "|Cff1BE5B8"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_PURPLE then
        set s = "|CFF530080"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_YELLOW then
        set s = "|CFFFFFC00"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_ORANGE then
        set s = "|CFFFE890D"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_GREEN then
        set s = "|CFF1FBF00"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_PINK then
        set s = "|CFFE45AAF"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_GRAY then
        set s = "|CFF949596"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_LIGHT_BLUE then
        set s = "|CFF7DBEF1"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_AQUA then
        set s = "|CFF0F6145"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    elseif pc == PLAYER_COLOR_BROWN then
        set s = "|CFF4D2903"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    else // A safty function
        set s = "|CFFFFFFFF"+GetPlayerName(p)+"|r"
    endif
    set pc = null
    return s
endfunction

Make a global string called TempString, set the player whose colour you want to get to a global called TempPlayer, then do
custom script: set udg_TempString = GetPlayerNameColoured(udg_TempPlayer)

now you can use TempString, the coloured player name, in the message.

I cant make Jass...
But then i may make a "If all con true" owner of killing units equal to player 1,2,3...
Then i can set the color for every player, thx for your help anyways...

I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying.

 

[Element of Water]

You don't need to know Jass, just read my instructions at the bottom of my post.

EDIT:
@Smiddle:
You can change your colour in the lobby in some maps.

 

[Ninja_Duels]

Look over

Read how I say to do it with Jass ffs. I explained it well enough for a four year old to understand.
