In this example, you will learn to print colored text to the terminal.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:
1. Example 1: Using ANSI escape sequences
print('\x1b[38;2;5;86;243m' + 'Programiz' + '\x1b[0m')
Output
Programiz
The working of the above line of code is shown in the figure below.

Let’s understand the escape code \x1b[38;2;5;86;243m
.
\x1b
calls a function. You can also use\033
for the same purpose.38;2;r;g;b
helps to set RGB color.5;86;243
are the rgb color for blue (the color of the logo of Programiz).m
is the function name. Here,m
means SGR (Select Graphics Rendition) function.
For more information regarding the ANSI escape code, you can refer to ANSI escape code.
2. Example 2: Using python module termcolor
from termcolor import colored print(colored('Programiz', 'blue'))
Output
Programiz
Using the module termcolor, you can get the desired output. Also, you can set different styles of the text using this module.
The first parameter of colored()
is the text and the second parameter is the color.
