color hierarchy issue

[dwelle]

It seems that a nested color affects a sibling color when a color is applied to both strings up a level.

('aaa' + 'bbb'.magenta).red

leads to aaa in red and bbb in magenta, but when doing:

('aaa'.white + 'bbb'.magenta).red

the white bleeds into bbb (making it pink) for no apparent reason:

repro:

$ node
> console.log(('aaa'.white + 'aaa'.magenta).red)
> console.log(('aaa'.white + 'aaa'.magenta))
> console.log(('aaa' + 'aaa'.magenta).red)

version: 1.1.92

@dwelle How do the String.prototype colors work?

@dwelle I saw how to use the nice mode, but how does it actually work internally? Does the actual text change as soon as you call the white method? Then when you call the method again with the red is it supposed to only change the colors of non colored characters?

it must

I'd say so, yes.
