Python - colorized text in the terminal

⇽ back to luminar.dev

This snippet is useful if you want to make your terminal output colorized. It should work on Unix and Windows with ANSI.SYS enabled.

class colors():
    # Text mode
    ENDC      = '\033[0m'
    BOLD      = '\033[1m'
    UNDERLINE = '\033[4m'
    INVERSE   = '\033[7m'

    # Colors
    ORANGE    = '\033[93m'
    BLACK     = '\033[0;30m'
    BLUE      = '\033[0;34m'
    GREEN     = '\033[0;32m'
    CYAN      = '\033[0;36m'
    RED       = '\033[0;31m'
    PURPLE    = '\033[0;35m'
    BROWN     = '\033[0;33m'
    LGRAY     = '\033[0;37m'
    DGRAY     = '\033[1;30m'
    LBLUE     = '\033[1;34m'
    LGREEN    = '\033[1;32m'
    LCYAN     = '\033[1;36m'
    LRED      = '\033[1;31m'
    LPURPLE   = '\033[1;35m'
    YELLOW    = '\033[1;33m'
    WHITE     = '\033[1;37m'

You can combine colors and text modes, for example, this command will print red, underlined text:

print(colors.RED + colors.UNDERLINE + 'hello world' + colors.ENDC)

Note: Do not forget to add colors.ENDC at the end, otherwise the rest of the output will be colorized.
