Colorize Text Output in C++

Motivation

To make it easy and elegant to print out text in color.

Quick Start

$ gcc -Wall main.c && ./a.out
$ g++ -Wall main.cpp && ./a.out

Example in C

printf(COLOR_RED     "This is a text line in RED.\n");
printf(COLOR_GREEN   "This is a text line in GREEN.\n");
printf(COLOR_YELLOW  "This is a text line in YELLOW.\n");
printf(COLOR_BLUE    "This is a text line in BLUE.\n");
printf(COLOR_MAGENTA "This is a text line in MAGENTA.\n");
printf(COLOR_CYAN    "This is a text line in CYAN.\n");
printf(COLOR_WHITE   "This is a text line in WHITE.\n");
printf(COLOR_NORMAL  "This is a text line that turns back to normal.\n\n");

Example in C++

cout << cc::red     << "This is a text line in RED." << endl;
cout << cc::green   << "This is a text line in GREEN." << endl;
cout << cc::yellow  << "This is a text line in YELLOW." << endl;
cout << cc::blue    << "This is a text line in BLUE." << endl;
cout << cc::magenta << "This is a text line in MAGENTA." << endl;
cout << cc::cyan    << "This is a text line in CYAN." << endl;
cout << cc::white   << "This is a text line in WHITE." << endl;
cout << cc::normal  << "This is a text line that turns back to normal.\n" << endl;
