rainbowcsv --help
rainbowcsv uses the colorama library to wrap csv columns with color escape sequences.
csvkit is a lovely library, and we recommend using this in conjunction with it.
The csvlook command doesn't play well with rainbow csv, because it doesn't ignore color-changing characters. That's why the --table (-t for short) option is available in rainbowcsv, it creates a similar-looking table.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dannysepler/rainbowcsv/main/resources/movies.csv | rainbowcsv --table
You can also pipe to less if you display raw control characters, via less -r or less -R
