256-colors
You can also use 256 colors, but keep in mind that not all Terminal clients support them.
foregroundColor(color: TerminalColor)backgroundColor(color: TerminalColor)colorize(foreground: TerminalColor, background: TerminalColor)
Available colors
You can access 256 colors using TerminalColor enumeration.
Escape codes
Sometimes you need only open code for a modifier. You can access them using TerminalStyle enum:
TerminalStyle.bold.open // "\u{001B}[1m"
TerminalStyle.bold.close // "\u{001B}[22m"For 256 colors use:
TerminalColor.Red.foregroundStyleCode().open \\"\u{001B}[38;5;9m"
TerminalColor.Red.backgroundStyleCode().open \\"\u{001B}[48;5;9m"License
