Features

Colors (Standard & True Color)

Mantis Colors supports standard ANSI colors, as well as RGB and HEX for 24-bit True Color support.

from mantis_colors import fg, bg

# Standard colors
print(fg.green + "success!")
print(fg.red + "error!")

# RGB Support
print(fg.rgb(255, 100, 0) + "RGB orange")
print(bg.rgb(0, 100, 255) + "RGB blue background")

# HEX Support (with or without #)
print(fg.hex("#ff6600") + "HEX orange")
print(bg.hex("0066ff") + "HEX blue background")

Text Styles

Apply common text decorations with ease.

from mantis_colors import style

print(style.bold + "Bold Text")
print(style.underline + "Underlined Text")
print(style.strikethrough + "Strikethrough")
print(style.bold + style.italic + "Bold and Italic")

Automatic Reset

Are you tired of manually adding reset every time? Use init() or autoreset() to handle it globally.

[!NOTE] When autoreset is enabled, use string concatenation (+) instead of commas (,) in print() to ensure colors apply correctly to the entire output.

from mantis_colors import init, fg, autoreset
autoreset()
print(fg.red + "Everything is reset after each print call automatically")

# or 
init(autoreset_enabled=True)
print(fg.red + "Everything is reset after each print call automatically")
