:snake: Python Example

print(Clr.BO + Clr.UL + Clr.rainbow('I love VividHues!') + Clr.RS)
print(f"{Clr.RED}It's got my fave color!{Clr.RS}")
print(f"Soooo {Clr.jazzy('jazzy') + Clr.RS}")
#                          ^^^
# you'll get an error using "" in f-string interpolations
print(Clr.pattern("Kenny Oliver", Clr.PURPLE, Clr.CYAN, Clr.LIME) + Clr.RS)

Just put a code in the gap Clr.___

print(Clr.random(string))

Paints your string in a random Clr code.

:saxophone: Clr.jazzy()

Paints each letter in jazzy random colors! It's a total gamble, that's guaranteed to be ugly! :)

:test_tube: Clr.pattern()

print(Clr.pattern(string, *color))

Paint your letters in a repeating pattern, by specifying an unlimited amount of Clr codes!
