## What it is
Hue is a minimal Python library for printing colored, styled, and labeled text in the terminal. It wraps strings in simple function calls like red() or bold() using ANSI escape sequences, and supports Python 2 and 3.

## Use cases
- print colored text in a python terminal
- add colors to python cli output
- ansi color library for python scripts
- colorama alternative with bright colors
- print status labels like info and bad in terminal
- style terminal text bold italic underline

## When to choose
- You want one-line, dead-simple colored terminal output without verbose color constants
- You need bright colors plus styles (bold, italic, underline, strike, background) and prefixed status labels
- You are writing small scripts or CLI tools and prefer a tiny dependency over a full TUI framework

## When to avoid
- You must support legacy Windows command prompts (pre-Windows 10), which do not render ANSI escape sequences
- You need truecolor/256-color palettes, cursor control, or full terminal UI layouts (consider rich or blessings instead)
- Your project license is incompatible with GPL-3.0
