Use kleur instead of chalk?

I recently saw on bundlephobia that the package kleur is way smaller than chalk and has a similiar syntax. Kleur is also dependency free. What are your thoughts about replacing it with chalk to reduce the bundle size?

Hello @muuvmuuv! I didn't know about kleur! I just took a look at it and looks great. Aside from the fact that it's smaller than chalk, is there any other reason why you think it is worth to switch to it?

I recently came across this post on twitter and thought about my personal project where I have included so many packages where I have never thought about the packages, the packages have included themselves. Or packages that are not three shakeable (e.g. for webpack). That is why I mostly get Security Vulnerability warnings on GitHub on some of my projects. Even if I'm not directly affected by the method a package in a package in a package has used.

I think in this case here it is not very mandatory but something to overall improve the compatibility and future maintenance of the package. And filesize is very important for me :D I know from the auto tuning industry that every gramm is worth removing.
