colored is a simple Python library for color and formatting in terminal. Collection of color codes and names for 256 color terminal setups.
colored now supports RGB color mode. As “true color” graphic cards with 16 to 24 bits of color became common, applications began to support 24-bit colors. Terminal emulators supporting setting 24-bit foreground and background colors with escape sequences include Xterm, KDE’s Konsole, and iTerm, as well as all libvte based terminals, including GNOME Terminal.
The colors work with most terminals and terminals emulators. ANSI/VT100 escape sequences can be used in every programming languages.
