GitHub go.mod Go version

A command-line color library with 16/256/True color support, universal API methods and Windows support.

中文说明

Basic color preview:

basic-color

Now, 256 colors and RGB colors have also been supported to work in Windows CMD and PowerShell:

color-on-cmd-pwsh

Features

Simple to use, zero dependencies
Supports rich color output: 16-color (4-bit), 256-color (8-bit), true color (24-bit, RGB)
- 16-color output is the most commonly used and most widely supported, working on any Windows version
- Since v1.2.4 the 256-color (8-bit), true color (24-bit) support windows CMD and PowerShell
- See this gist for information on true color support
Support converts HEX HSL value to RGB color
Generic API methods: Print, Printf, Println, Sprint, Sprintf
Supports HTML tag-style color rendering, such as <green>message</> <fg=red;bg=blue>text</>.
- In addition to using built-in tags, it also supports custom color attributes
- Custom color attributes support the use of 16 color names, 256 color values, rgb color values and hex color values
- Support working on Windows cmd and powerShell terminal
Basic colors: Bold, Black, White, Gray, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Magenta, Cyan
Additional styles: Info, Note, Light, Error, Danger, Notice, Success, Comment, Primary, Warning, Question, Secondary

256-color usage

256 colors support Windows CMD, PowerShell environment after v1.2.4

Set the foreground or background color

color.C256(val uint8, isBg ...bool) Color256

c := color.C256(132) // fg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")

c := color.C256(132, true) // bg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")

256-color style

Can be used to set foreground and background colors at the same time.

S256(fgAndBg ...uint8) *Style256

s := color.S256(32, 203)
s.Println("message")
s.Printf("format %s", "message")

with options:

s := color.S256(32, 203)
s.SetOpts(color.Opts{color.OpBold})

s.Println("style with options")
s.Printf("style with %s\n", "options")

Run demo: go run ./_examples/color_256.go

color-tags

RGB/True color

RGB colors support Windows CMD, PowerShell environment after v1.2.4

Preview:

Run demo: Run demo: go run ./_examples/color_rgb.go

color-rgb

example:

color.RGB(30, 144, 255).Println("message. use RGB number")

color.HEX("#1976D2").Println("blue-darken")
color.HEX("#D50000", true).Println("red-accent. use HEX style")

color.RGBStyleFromString("213,0,0").Println("red-accent. use RGB number")
color.HEXStyle("eee", "D50000").Println("deep-purple color")

Set the foreground or background color

color.RGB(r, g, b uint8, isBg ...bool) RGBColor

c := color.RGB(30,144,255) // fg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")

c := color.RGB(30,144,255, true) // bg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")

Create a style from an hexadecimal color string:

color.HEX(hex string, isBg ...bool) RGBColor

c := color.HEX("ccc") // can also: "cccccc" "#cccccc"
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")

c = color.HEX("aabbcc", true) // as bg color
c.Println("message")
c.Printf("format %s", "message")

RGB color style

Can be used to set the foreground and background colors at the same time.

color.NewRGBStyle(fg RGBColor, bg ...RGBColor) *RGBStyle

s := color.NewRGBStyle(RGB(20, 144, 234), RGB(234, 78, 23))
s.Println("message")
s.Printf("format %s", "message")

Create a style from an hexadecimal color string:

color.HEXStyle(fg string, bg ...string) *RGBStyle

s := color.HEXStyle("11aa23", "eee")
s.Println("message")
s.Printf("format %s", "message")

with options:

s := color.HEXStyle("11aa23", "eee")
s.SetOpts(color.Opts{color.OpBold})

s.Println("style with options")
s.Printf("style with %s\n", "options")

HTML-like tag usage

Print,Printf,Println functions support auto parse and render color tags.

	text := `
  <mga1>gookit/color:</>
     A <green>command-line</> 
     <cyan>color library</> with <fg=167;bg=232>256-color</>
     and <fg=11aa23;op=bold>True-color</> support,
     <fg=mga;op=i>universal API</> methods
     and <cyan>Windows</> support.
`
	color.Print(text)

Preview, code please see _examples/demo_tag.go:

demo_tag

Tag formats:

Use built in tags: <TAG_NAME>CONTENT</> e.g: <info>message</>
Custom tag attributes: <fg=VALUE;bg=VALUE;op=VALUES>CONTENT</> e.g: <fg=167;bg=232>wel</>

Supported on Windows cmd.exe PowerShell.

Examples:

// use style tag
color.Print("<suc>he</><comment>llo</>, <cyan>wel</><red>come</>")
color.Println("<suc>hello</>")
color.Println("<error>hello</>")
color.Println("<warning>hello</>")

// custom color attributes
color.Print("<fg=yellow;bg=black;op=underscore;>hello, welcome</>\n")

// Custom label attr: Supports the use of 16 color names, 256 color values, rgb color values and hex color values
color.Println("<fg=11aa23>he</><bg=120,35,156>llo</>, <fg=167;bg=232>wel</><fg=red>come</>")

Tag attributes

tag attributes format:

attr format:
 // VALUE please see var: FgColors, BgColors, AllOptions
 "fg=VALUE;bg=VALUE;op=VALUE"

16 color:
 "fg=yellow"
 "bg=red"
 "op=bold,underscore" // option is allow multi value
 "fg=white;bg=blue;op=bold"
 "fg=white;op=bold,underscore"

256 color:
 "fg=167"
 "fg=167;bg=23"
 "fg=167;bg=23;op=bold"
 
True color:
 // hex
 "fg=fc1cac"
 "fg=fc1cac;bg=c2c3c4"
 // r,g,b
 "fg=23,45,214"
 "fg=23,45,214;bg=109,99,88"

tag attributes parse please see func ParseCodeFromAttr()

Built-in tags

Built-in tags please see var colorTags in color_tag.go

// use style tag
color.Print("<suc>he</><comment>llo</>, <cyan>wel</><red>come</>")
color.Println("<suc>hello</>")
color.Println("<error>hello</>")

Run demo: go run ./_examples/color_tag.go

color-tags

Use color.Tag build message:

// set a style tag
color.Tag("info").Print("info style text")
color.Tag("info").Printf("%s style text", "info")
color.Tag("info").Println("info style text")

Color convert

Supports conversion between Rgb, 256, 16 colors, Rgb <=> 256 <=> 16

basic := color.Red
basic.Println("basic color")

c256 := color.Red.C256()
c256.Println("256 color")
c256.C16().Println("basic color")

rgb := color.Red.RGB()
rgb.Println("rgb color")
rgb.C256().Println("256 color")

Detect color level

color automatically checks the color levels supported by the current environment.

// Level is the color level supported by a terminal.
type Level = terminfo.ColorLevel

// terminal color available level alias of the terminfo.ColorLevel*
const (
	LevelNo  = terminfo.ColorLevelNone     // not support color.
	Level16  = terminfo.ColorLevelBasic    // basic - 3/4 bit color supported
	Level256 = terminfo.ColorLevelHundreds // hundreds - 8-bit color supported
	LevelRgb = terminfo.ColorLevelMillions // millions - (24 bit)true color supported
)

func SupportColor() bool Whether the current environment supports color output
func Support256Color() bool Whether the current environment supports 256-color output
func SupportTrueColor() bool Whether the current environment supports (RGB)True-color output
func TermColorLevel() Level Get the currently supported color level
