Adding colors to text output in a Python script can make the output more visually appealing and easier to read. It can also be used to highlight important information, such as errors or warning messages, making them stand out and more noticeable. In general, colors can be used to add meaning to text-based interfaces and make them more user-friendly. A collection of methods for appending ANSI color codes to strings are available in the termcolor library. 

  • Termcolor: Python's termcolor package may colorize terminal output. It may be used to add ANSI color codes to strings, which will cause them to print to the terminal in a variety of colors. Windows, Linux, and MacOS all support it. This can be helpful for making visual distinctions in command-line interfaces that employ text. 


Colors can also be used in text-based games, and other interactive command-line programs to make the interface more engaging and fun. When creating a text-based game, adding colors can make the game feel more immersive, and more like a 'real' game. 


For more information about adding colors using Termcolor, refer to the code given below.

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

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

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

from colorama import Fore, Back, Style
print(Fore.RED + 'some red text')
print(Back.GREEN + 'and with a green background')
print(Style.DIM + 'and in dim text')
print(Style.RESET_ALL)
print('back to normal now')
  1. Copy this code using "Copy "button above and paste it in your python file IDE
  2. Add Termcolor Library to run this code
  3. Run the code to get the texts coloured.


I hope you found this useful i have added the Dependent libraries , versions in the following sections.

                                          Environment Test

                                          I have tested this solution with following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions


                                          1. This solution is created and executed in Python 3.7.15 version
                                          2. This solution is tested on termcolor 2.1.1 version
                                          3. This solution is tested on colorama 0.4.6 version


                                          Using this solution we able to color the text with termcolor Library in python with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us color the text in Python.
