Using

General usage

var color = require("mgutz-colors").color;
console.log(color("red on black", "red:black"));

Style format is color+attributes:backgroundColor+attributes

"red"            // red
"red+b"          // red bold
"red+u"          // red underline
"red+bh"         // red bold high-intensity
"red:white"      // red on white
"red+b:white+h"  // red bold on white high-intensity

colors: black, white, red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta

attributes: b=bold, h=high intensity, u=underline

Flexible way to require

var colors = require("mgutz-colors"),
    color = colors.color;

Be lazy and define color functions

var bc = colors.fn("black:cyan");
console.log(bc("this is black text on cyan"));

Turn off colors easily

colors.plain = true;
console.log(bc("this is plain now"));

Get color code of high intensity red on black background

// use ansi escape sequences directly for speed (like logging)
var redOnBlack = colors.ansi('red+h:black')
console.log(redOnBlack + message + colors.reset);

Output all color combinations in terminal
