Full Line Text Functions#

Try the rgb() and bg_rgb() methods for a full line of colored text. The values for red, green, blue can be an integer between 0-255.

Example:

Python

from colorist import rgb, bg_rgb

rgb("I want this text in blue RGB colors", 0, 128, 255)
bg_rgb("I want this background in blue RGB colors", 0, 128, 255)

How it appears in the terminal:

% I want this text in blue RGB colors
% I want this background in blue RGB colors

Or customize the styling of text and background with the ColorRGB() and BgColorRGB() classes:

Python

from colorist import ColorRGB, BgColorRGB

dusty_pink = ColorRGB(194, 145, 164)

print(f"I want to use {dusty_pink}DUSTY PINK{dusty_pink.OFF}...")
print(f"... and {bg_steel_blue}STEEL BLUE{bg_steel_blue.OFF} colors")
