Question about prefix or suffix color?

This is a question and not really an issue. Is it possible to have the prefix, suffix or FinalMSG printed with color?

For example, I can create a simple spinner and make it bold, yellow:

s := spinner.New(spinner.CharSets[29], 150*time.Millisecond)
s.Color("yellow", "bold")
s.Start()

Works just fine, I see my spinner doing it's thing in bold, yellow.

But if I want to have the prefix or suffix or FinalMSG in color, is it possible? Say for example, cyan?

s.Prefix = "doing stuff... "
s.Suffix = "wrapping up.."
s.FinalMSG = "all done"

I can achieve the same result by manually adding color and not using prefix, suffix or FinalMSG but thought I would ask in case I'm missing something.

I haven't tested this but you can add any string in there with escapes for coloring and they "should" come out as expected. (sorry for the delay in response)
