Colors and formatting for the console. This package won't mess with built-ins and provides neat way to predefine color patterns, see below.
$ npm install cli-color
Usage:
var clc = require('cli-color');
Output colored text:
console.log(clc.red('Text in red'));
Styles can be mixed:
console.log(clc.red.bgWhite.underline('Underlined red text on white background.'));
Styled text can be mixed with unstyled:
console.log(clc.red('red') + ' plain ' + clc.blue('blue'));
Best way is to predefine needed stylings and then use it:
var error = clc.red.bold;
var warn = clc.yellow;
var notice = clc.blue;
console.log(error('Error!'));
console.log(warn('Warning'));
console.log(notice('Notice'));
Supported are all ANSI colors and styles:

Trims ANSI formatted string to plain text

var interval = require('clock/lib/interval')
, ansiThrobber = require('cli-color/lib/throbber');
var i = interval(200, true);
// Display throbber while interval is ticking
ansiThrobber(i);
// at any time you can stop/start interval
// When interval is stopped throbber doesn't show
i.stop();
