"Here without console.log for purity."

[Qix-]

I think this is what is throwing people off. A large portion of our tickets (and things I see on StackOverflow) are people misunderstanding how to use chalk. I think they expect chalk.red("hello") to output something.

The readme states Here without console.log for purity. which a lot of people miss (even though there's a usage block right above it). It might be worthwhile to just include console.log (or even var log = console.log; log(...)) in there to illustrate that chalk only returns strings with escape sequences, nothing more.

Just a thought.

Sure. const log = console.log; log(... sounds good to me.
