+
+    How to implement a color printer:
+
+        Just override the _print_colored() and _print_uncolored method.
+
+        Note that if _print_colored throws an exception, _print_uncolored
+        will be invoked.
+
+        Do not override _print() like usual printers do since the ColorPrinter
+        class handles this for you.
