NOTICE
If you want print custom colors message on windows, should use color.PrintX instead of fmt.PrintX
str := color.Red.Sprint("an colored message string")
// Color will not be output under Windows
fmt.Println(str)
// Color will be output under Windows
color.Println(str)
color.PrintXis universal, you can use it directly instead offmt.PrintX
Quick start
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/gookit/color"
)
func main() {
// quick use like fmt.Print*
color.Red.Println("Simple to use color")
color.Green.Print("Simple to use color\n")
color.Cyan.Printf("Simple to use %s\n", "color")
color.Yellow.Printf("Simple to use %s\n", "color")
// use like func
red := color.FgRed.Render
green := color.FgGreen.Render
fmt.Printf("%s line %s library\n", red("Command"), green("color"))
// custom color
color.New(color.FgWhite, color.BgBlack).Println("custom color style")
// can also:
color.Style{color.FgCyan, color.OpBold}.Println("custom color style")
// internal theme/style:
color.Info.Tips("message")
color.Info.Prompt("message")
color.Info.Println("message")
color.Warn.Println("message")
color.Error.Println("message")
// use style tag
color.Print("<suc>he</><comment>llo</>, <cyan>wel</><red>come</>\n")
// apply a style tag
color.Tag("info").Println("info style text")
// prompt message
color.Info.Prompt("prompt style message")
color.Warn.Prompt("prompt style message")
// tips message
color.Info.Tips("tips style message")
color.Warn.Tips("tips style message")
}
Run demo: go run ./_examples/demo.go
Custom Build Color
// Only use foreground color
color.FgCyan.Printf("Simple to use %s\n", "color")
// Only use background color
color.BgRed.Printf("Simple to use %s\n", "color")
// Full custom: foreground, background, option
myStyle := color.New(color.FgWhite, color.BgBlack, color.OpBold)
myStyle.Println("custom color style")
// can also:
color.Style{color.FgCyan, color.OpBold}.Println("custom color style")
custom set console settings:
// set console color
color.Set(color.FgCyan)
// print message
fmt.Print("message")
// reset console settings
color.Reset()

256-color usage
256 colors support Windows CMD, PowerShell environment after
v1.2.4
Set the foreground or background color
color.C256(val uint8, isBg ...bool) Color256
c := color.C256(132) // fg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")
c := color.C256(132, true) // bg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")
Use a 256-color style
Can be used to set foreground and background colors at the same time.
S256(fgAndBg ...uint8) *Style256
s := color.S256(32, 203)
s.Println("message")
s.Printf("format %s", "message")
with options:
s := color.S256(32, 203)
s.SetOpts(color.Opts{color.OpBold})
s.Println("style with options")
s.Printf("style with %s\n", "options")
Run demo: go run ./_examples/color256.go
Use RGB color
RGB colors support Windows
CMD,PowerShellenvironment afterv1.2.4
Preview:
Run demo:
Run demo: go run ./_examples/color_rgb.go
example:
color.RGB(30, 144, 255).Println("message. use RGB number")
color.HEX("#1976D2").Println("blue-darken")
color.HEX("#D50000", true).Println("red-accent. use HEX style")
color.RGBStyleFromString("213,0,0").Println("red-accent. use RGB number")
color.HEXStyle("eee", "D50000").Println("deep-purple color")
Set the foreground or background color
color.RGB(r, g, b uint8, isBg ...bool) RGBColor
c := color.RGB(30,144,255) // fg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")
c := color.RGB(30,144,255, true) // bg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")
Create a style from an hexadecimal color string:
color.HEX(hex string, isBg ...bool) RGBColor
c := color.HEX("ccc") // can also: "cccccc" "#cccccc"
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")
c = color.HEX("aabbcc", true) // as bg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")
Use an RGB color style
Can be used to set the foreground and background colors at the same time.
color.NewRGBStyle(fg RGBColor, bg ...RGBColor) *RGBStyle
s := color.NewRGBStyle(RGB(20, 144, 234), RGB(234, 78, 23))
s.Println("message")
s.Printf("format %s", "message")
Create a style from an hexadecimal color string:
color.HEXStyle(fg string, bg ...string) *RGBStyle
s := color.HEXStyle("11aa23", "eee")
s.Println("message")
s.Printf("format %s", "message")
with options:
s := color.HEXStyle("11aa23", "eee")
s.SetOpts(color.Opts{color.OpBold})
s.Println("style with options")
s.Printf("style with %s\n", "options")
