ansicolors add ANSI colors and decorations to your strings.
The strings returned by color will have embedded ANSI code sequences stipulating text colors and styles.
You can choose the foreground (text) color with the fg parameter, the background color with bg, and the style with style.
You can choose one of the 8 basic ANSI colors: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and white, plus a special default which is display-specific, but usually a rational “no special color” setting.
This is free and open source software.
