To make some of your text more readable, you can use ANSI escape codes to change the colour of the text output in your python program. A good use case for this is to to highlight errors.
The escape codes are entered right into the print statement.
print("\033[1;32;40m Bright Green \n")
The above ANSI escape code will set the text colour to bright green. The format is;
\033[ Escape code, this is always the same
1 = Style, 1 for normal.
32 = Text colour, 32 for bright green.
40m = Background colour, 40 is for black.
This table shows some of the available formats;
| Text color | Code | Text style | Code | Background color | Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | 30 | No effect | 0 | Black | 40 |
| Red | 31 | Bold | 1 | Red | 41 |
| Green | 32 | Underline | 2 | Green | 42 |
| Yellow | 33 | Negative1 | 3 | Yellow | 43 |
| Blue | 34 | Negative2 | 5 | Blue | 44 |
| Purple | 35 | Purple | 45 | ||
| Cyan | 36 | Cyan | 46 | ||
| White | 37 | White | 47 |
Here is the code used to create the coloured text in the title image;
print("\033[0;37;40m Normal text\n")
print("\033[2;37;40m Underlined text\033[0;37;40m \n")
print("\033[1;37;40m Bright Colour\033[0;37;40m \n")
print("\033[3;37;40m Negative Colour\033[0;37;40m \n")
print("\033[5;37;40m Negative Colour\033[0;37;40m\n")
