print(text)
cprint("Hello, World!", "green", "on_red")

print_red_on_cyan = lambda x: cprint(x, "red", "on_cyan")
print_red_on_cyan("Hello, World!")
print_red_on_cyan("Hello, Universe!")

for i in range(10):
    cprint(i, "magenta", end=" ")

cprint("Attention!", "red", attrs=["bold"], file=sys.stderr)

# You can also specify 0-255 RGB ints via a tuple
cprint("Both foreground and background can use tuples", (100, 150, 250), (50, 60, 70))

Text properties

Overrides

Terminal colour detection can be disabled or enabled in several ways.

In order of precedence:

  1. Calling colored or cprint with a truthy no_color disables colour.
  2. Calling colored or cprint with a truthy force_color forces colour.
  3. Setting the ANSI_COLORS_DISABLED environment variable to any non-empty value disables colour.
  4. Setting the NO_COLOR environment variable to any non-empty value disables colour.
  5. Setting the FORCE_COLOR environment variable to any non-empty value forces colour.
  6. Setting the TERM environment variable to dumb, or using such a dumb terminal, disables colour.
  7. Finally, termcolor will attempt to detect whether the terminal supports colour.
