Colours is easy to use.

Just use any colour you want as a function. For foreground colour add fg and for background color add bg

in front of any colour you want to use from color image.

for example:

colours.fgmaroon("Maroon")

will print Maroon in Maroon colour.

colours.bgmaroon("Maroon")

will print Maroon with Maroon background.

Colours supports this text effects:

• Bold (colours.bold())
• Underline (colours.underline())
• Italic (colours.italic())
• Strikethrough (colours.strikethrough())

Colours also supports RGB colors for both background and foreground:

colours.fg_rgb("Red Foreground", 255, 0, 0)

will print Red Foreground in Red colour.

colours.bg_rgb("Red Background", 255, 0, 0)

will print Red Background with Red background.

Note: RGB colors support only Natural numbers
