This library is boring, use rgbterm

Package color

Colorize your terminal strings.

fmt.Printf("I'm in a %s world!\n", brush.Blue("blue"))

Usage

Default Brush are available for your convenience. You can invoke them directly

fmt.Printf("This is %s\n", brush.Red("red"))

... or you can create new ones!

weird := color.NewBrush(color.PurplePaint, color.CyanPaint)
fmt.Printf("This color is %s\n", weird("weird"))

Create a Style, which has some convenience methods :

redBg := color.NewStyle(color.RedPaint, color.YellowPaint)

Style.WithForeground or WithBackground returns a new Style, with the applied Paint. Styles are immutable so the original one is left unchanged

greenFg := redBg.WithForeground(color.GreenPaint)

// Style.Brush gives you a Brush that you can invoke directly to colorize strings.
green := greenFg.Brush()
fmt.Printf("This is %s but not really\n", green("kind of green"))

You can use it with all sorts of things :

sout := log.New(os.Stdout, "["+brush.Green("OK").String()+"]\t", log.LstdFlags)
serr := log.New(os.Stderr, "["+brush.Red("OMG").String()+"]\t", log.LstdFlags)

sout.Printf("Everything was going %s until...", brush.Cyan("fine"))
serr.Printf("%s killed %s !!!", brush.Red("Locke"), brush.Blue("Jacob"))

That's it!
