# Color [](http://godoc.org/github.com/fatih/color) [](https://travis-ci.org/fatih/color)
Color lets you use colorized outputs in terms of [ANSI Escape Codes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors) in Go (Golang). It has support for Windows too! The API can be used in several ways, pick one that suits you.
## Install
```bash
go get github.com/fatih/color
```
## Examples
### Standard colors
```go
// Print with default helper functions
color.Cyan("Prints text in cyan.")
// A newline will be appended automatically
color.Blue("Prints %s in blue.", "text")
// These are using the default foreground colors
color.Red("We have red")
color.Magenta("And many others ..")
```
### Mix and reuse colors
```go
// Create a new color object
c := color.New(color.FgCyan).Add(color.Underline)
c.Println("Prints cyan text with an underline.")
// Or just add them to New()
d := color.New(color.FgCyan, color.Bold)
d.Printf("This prints bold cyan %s\n", "too!.")
// Mix up foreground and background colors, create new mixes!
red := color.New(color.FgRed)
boldRed := red.Add(color.Bold)
boldRed.Println("This will print text in bold red.")
whiteBackground := red.Add(color.BgWhite)
whiteBackground.Println("Red text with white background.")
```
### Custom print functions (PrintFunc)
```go
// Create a custom print function for convenience
red := color.New(color.FgRed).PrintfFunc()
red("Warning")
red("Error: %s", err)
// Mix up multiple attributes
notice := color.New(color.Bold, color.FgGreen).PrintlnFunc()
notice("Don't forget this...")
```
### Insert into noncolor strings (SprintFunc)
```go
// Create SprintXxx functions to mix strings with other non-colorized strings:
yellow := color.New(color.FgYellow).SprintFunc()
red := color.New(color.FgRed).SprintFunc()
fmt.Printf("This is a %s and this is %s.\n", yellow("warning"), red("error"))
info := color.New(color.FgWhite, color.BgGreen).SprintFunc()
fmt.Printf("This %s rocks!\n", info("package"))
// Use helper functions
fmt.Printf("This", color.RedString("warning"), "should be not neglected.")
fmt.Printf(color.GreenString("Info:"), "an important message." )
// Windows supported too! Just don't forget to change the output to color.Output
fmt.Fprintf(color.Output, "Windows support: %s", color.GreenString("PASS"))
```
### Plug into existing code
```go
// Use handy standard colors
color.Set(color.FgYellow)
fmt.Println("Existing text will now be in yellow")
fmt.Printf("This one %s\n", "too")
color.Unset() // Don't forget to unset
// You can mix up parameters
color.Set(color.FgMagenta, color.Bold)
defer color.Unset() // Use it in your function
fmt.Println("All text will now be bold magenta.")
```
