Getting Started

Color: Color strings based on the ansicolors package.

Create a color by ID:

[1]:

from colorpalette import *
green = Color('forestgreen')
green

forestgreen

Color a string:

[2]:

print(green('This is green'))

This is green

Colors can also be concatenated. Add Color.reset, to remove the color code in later strings

[3]:

print(green + 'This is green' + Color.reset + '\nThis is normal')

This is green
This is normal

You can also create a color passing the foreground color (fg), background color (bg), style, and define them with an ID.

[4]:

green_lavender = Color(fg='forestgreen', bg='lavenderblush', style='underline', ID='green_lavender')
green_lavender

green_lavender

Note: Please refer to the color function in the ansicolors package for further details on these parameters:

All colors with an ID are saved in ‘cached’:
