"colored cout" is a few ANSI color macros and a simple overloading of operator<<
that allow you to print in console using 10 basic colors:
- red
- green
- blue
- cyan
- magenta
- yellow
- white
- gray
- darkgray
- black
Usage:
std::cout << clr::red << clr::on_cyan << " red "
<< clr::yellow << clr::on_blue << " yellow "
<< clr::green << clr::on_magenta << " green "
<< clr::cyan << clr::on_red << " cyan "
<< clr::blue << clr::on_yellow << " blue "
<< clr::magenta << clr::on_green << " magenta "
<< clr::white << clr::on_black << " white "
<< clr::gray << clr::on_darkgray << " gray "
<< clr::darkgray << clr::on_gray << " darkgray "
<< clr::black << clr::on_white << " black "
<< clr::reset << " compliant\n";
std::cout << CLR_RED CLR_ON_CYAN " red "
<< CLR_YELLOW CLR_ON_BLUE " yellow "
<< CLR_GREEN CLR_ON_MAGENTA " green "
<< CLR_CYAN CLR_ON_RED " cyan "
<< CLR_BLUE CLR_ON_YELLOW " blue "
<< CLR_MAGENTA CLR_ON_GREEN " magenta "
<< CLR_WHITE CLR_ON_BLACK " white "
<< CLR_GRAY CLR_ON_DARKGRAY " gray "
<< CLR_DARKGRAY CLR_ON_GRAY " darkgray "
<< CLR_BLACK CLR_ON_WHITE " black "
<< CLR_RESET " compliant\n";Tested on MSVC 14.0 + Windows 10, GCC 5.2 + Ubuntu 15.10, MSVC 19.39 + Windows 11,

To enable ANSI/VT100 Escape Sequences on Windows 10:
DWORD mode = ENABLE_PROCESSED_OUTPUT;
// This flag is supported by Windows versions equal to or greater than 10.0.14393 (1607)
// Windows 10 version 20H2 (and later) sets this flag by default
mode |= ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING;
SetConsoleMode(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), mode);
