My code currently only prints text in blue but I would like some important messages to be printed using the print() command but in colors such as red.

I tried using something called colorama which I found in a different question's answer.

    import colorama
    from colorama import Fore, Back, Style

    colorama.init()

    print(Fore.RED+'Hello')

But it came up with this:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "E:/Color test", line 1, in <module>
            import colorama
    ImportError: No module named colorama

Does anyone know how to do it or at least know if it is possible?

EDIT: I have found a similar question and tried all of the answers but none of them worked. I will really appreciate anybody's help.

You can do this using ANSI escape codes.

    Black: \u001b[30m
    Red: \u001b[31m
    Green: \u001b[32m
    Yellow: \u001b[33m
    Blue: \u001b[34m
    Magenta: \u001b[35m
    Cyan: \u001b[36m
    White: \u001b[37m
    Reset: \u001b[0m

Suppose you want to print "Hello world" in blue, You will have to do:

print("\u001b[34m" + "Hello world" + "\u001b[0m")

Please note that I have added the reset code at the end to avoid coloring the rest of the text.

Additionally, if you are using a windows operating system you will need to clear the screen for the colors to appear, like this:

import os
os.system("cls")

Good luck!

There is a way - but that it is much more difficult than what I can just simply put in here and is a lot more advanced. is it possible to add colors to python output? Go to that weblink for more info.

    This statement is false. It is quite possible to print in colour in a console that supports for example ANSI colour codes. It turned out in a side channel conversation that OP is using IDLE, and as such cannot indeed print in colour according to [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20863812/is-it-possible-to-add-colors-to-python-output/20863909#20863909). – Ilja Everilä Jan 19 '17 at 11:01
  • While this is true - what I stated still stands that mine is a little more user-friendly with actually commands to use.@llja Everilla, that method is long and you spend more time reading than actually writing code. I don't want to start an argue-ment - but both methods do work, just that mine is less reading and more practical. Why would you go through the effort to write a one-line coloured text when Tkinter can do multiple in just 3 to 4 lines less. – JerryPlayz101 Jan 19 '17 at 11:37
  • Might be right there... I dont know... just let him decide which way is best – JerryPlayz101 Jan 19 '17 at 11:58
