A Go library for rendering colored output in terminal/CLI applications, supporting 16-color, 256-color, and true color (RGB) modes. It offers Print/Sprintf-style APIs, HTML tag-style color markup, and works on Windows CMD and PowerShell.
Use cases
- add colored output to a go cli tool
- print colored text in windows cmd and powershell
- render 256 color and rgb true color in terminal
- convert hex or hsl colors to rgb for terminal output
- tag-based color markup like <green>message</> in go
- respect NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR environment variables
When to choose
- you are writing a Go CLI and need rich terminal colors
- you need Windows compatibility including 256/true color support
- you want a zero-dependency color library with a familiar Print/Sprintf API
When to avoid
- your project is not written in Go
- you only need simple logging levels rather than color control
- you need TUI layout widgets rather than just color rendering
