show/say/echo
 
Is there any difference between these besides that echo and say are both light cyan color and show is the default text color?

The difference is that the text from #SHOW is parsed by triggers while the text from #ECHO and #SAY should not be parsed by triggers. Although I have seen some cases when this isn't true.

Also, #SHOW and #SAY print the text in the window that sent the command, while #ECHO prints the message in the active window.

I believe the precise difference is SAY never hits a trigger, ECHO can depending on your preferences, and SHOW always goes to the triggers.

I believe the preference that controls whether triggers catch ECHO is Trigger on Messages.
