🌈 Colorist for Python 🌈

Lightweight Python package that makes it easy and fast to print colored text in the terminal.

Getting Started

Print Line of Colored Text

How to print a full line of colored text in the terminal:

from colorist import green, yellow, red

green("This is GREEN!")
yellow("This is YELLOW!")
red("This is RED!")

How it appears in the terminal:

Print Mixed Text Colors

How to customize colors inside a paragraph and print it in the terminal:

from colorist import Color

print(f"I want {Color.RED}red{Color.OFF} color inside this paragraph")

print(f"Both {Color.GREEN}green{Color.OFF} and {Color.YELLOW}yellow{Color.OFF} are nice colors")

How it appears in the terminal:

Other Styling Options

Print Bright Colors

Most terminals support bright colors that stand more out:

from colorist import BrightColor

print(f"I want {BrightColor.CYAN}cyan{BrightColor.OFF} color inside this paragraph")

How it appears in the terminal:

Remember to use Color.OFF or BrightColor.OFF every time you want to revert back to the default terminal text style. Otherwise, the color may spill over and into other terminal messages.

Print Background Colors

from colorist import bg_green, bg_yellow, bg_red

bg_green("This is GREEN background!")
bg_yellow("This is YELLOW background!")
bg_red("This is RED background!")

How it appears in the terminal:

Background colors can also be mixed inside a paragraph:

from colorist import BgColor

print(f"I want {BgColor.RED}red{BgColor.OFF} background color inside this paragraph")

print(f"Both {BgColor.GREEN}green{BgColor.OFF} and {BgColor.YELLOW}yellow{BgColor.OFF} are nice background colors")

How it appears in the terminal:

from colorist import BgBrightColor

print(f"I want {BgBrightColor.CYAN}cyan{BgBrightColor.OFF} background color inside this paragraph")

How it appears in the terminal:

As with text colors, remember to use BgColor.OFF or BgBrightColor.OFF every time you want to revert back to the default terminal text style. Otherwise, the color may spill over and into other terminal messages.
