# 🌈 Colorist for Python 🌈
Lightweight Python package that makes it easy and fast to print colored text in the terminal.
Ready to try? See [how to install](https://jakob-bagterp.github.io/colorist-for-python/getting-started/installation/).
## Getting Started
### Print Line of Colored Text
How to print a full line of colored text in the terminal:
```python
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:
```python
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:
```python
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
```python
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:
```python
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:
```python
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.
