@colors/colors provides functions to add text colors and styles in Node.js console output, including foreground and background colors plus styles like bold, underline, and inverse. It can auto-detect terminal color support (and can be forced on or off), and it also supports string-safe usage (without extending String.prototype) and custom themes.

Recent updates
v1.6.1
v1.6.1 updates the repository and npm package metadata to identify DABH LLC as the distributor and maintainer, including adding a distribution notice file and linking the README to dabh.llc. The code diff indicates no runtime source changes, but there are notable CI and development tooling updates (GitHub Actions version bumps, expanded Node test matrix, and TypeScript test scripting).
Featuresv1.6.0
v1.6.0 primarily adds missing TypeScript typings for the bright color APIs, and improves runtime compatibility for environments where process.argv is unavailable. It also updates CI to newer Node versions and bumps linting/tooling dependencies (eslint, eslint-config-google, and GitHub Actions versions).
Featuresv1.5.0
v1.5.0 is primarily a dependency update release with a required rename of the published package from colors to @colors/colors, along with switching CI to GitHub Actions. It also adds a default tsconfig.json and adjusts behavior for FORCE_COLOR so color output works in CI environments.
