• Support converts HEX HSL value to RGB color
• Generic API methods: Print, Printf, Println, Sprint, Sprintf
• Supports HTML tag-style color rendering, such as <green>message</>.
  • In addition to using built-in tags, it also supports custom color attributes
  • Custom color attributes support the use of 16 color names, 256 color values, rgb color values and hex color values
  • Support working on Windows cmd and powerShell terminal

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")

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/color_256.go

RGB/True color

RGB colors support Windows CMD, PowerShell environment after v1.2.4

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")

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")

HTML-like tag usage

Supported on Windows cmd.exe PowerShell .

// use style tag
color.Print("<suc>he</><comment>llo</>, <cyan>wel</><red>come</>")
color.Println("<suc>hello</>")
color.Println("<error>hello</>")
color.Println("<warning>hello</>")

// custom color attributes
color.Print("<fg=yellow;bg=black;op=underscore;>hello, welcome</>\n")

// Custom label attr: Supports the use of 16 color names, 256 color values, rgb color values and hex color values
color.Println("<fg=11aa23>he</><bg=120,35,156>llo</>, <fg=167;bg=232>wel</><fg=red>come</>")

• color.Tag

// set a style tag
color.Tag("info").Print("info style text")
color.Tag("info").Printf("%s style text", "info")
color.Tag("info").Println("info style text")

Run demo: go run ./_examples/color_tag.go

Color convert

Supports conversion between Rgb, 256, 16 colors, Rgb <=> 256 <=> 16

basic := color.Red
basic.Println("basic color")

c256 := color.Red.C256()
c256.Println("256 color")
c256.C16().Println("basic color")

rgb := color.Red.RGB()
rgb.Println("rgb color")
rgb.C256().Println("256 color")

More functions for convert to RGBColor:

• func RGBFromSlice(rgb []uint8, isBg ...bool) RGBColor
• func RGBFromString(rgb string, isBg ...bool) RGBColor
• func HEX(hex string, isBg ...bool) RGBColor
• func HSL(h, s, l float64, isBg ...bool) RGBColor
• func HSLInt(h, s, l int, isBg ...bool) RGBColor

There are some useful functions reference

• Disable() disable color render
• SetOutput(io.Writer) custom set the colored text output writer
• ForceOpenColor() force open color render
