[colors.js](https://github.com/Marak/colors.js) used to be the most popular string styling module, but it has serious deficiencies like extending `String.prototype` which causes all kinds of [problems](https://github.com/yeoman/yo/issues/68). Although there are other ones, they either do too much or not enough.
Chain [styles](#styles) and call the last one as a method with a string argument. Order doesn't matter, and later styles take precedent in case of a conflict. This simply means that `Chalk.red.yellow.green` is equivalent to `Chalk.green`.
Multiple arguments will be separated by space.
### chalk.enabled
Color support is automatically detected, but you can override it by setting the `enabled` property. You should however only do this in your own code as it applies globally to all chalk consumers.
If you need to change this in a reusable module create a new instance:
```js
var ctx = new chalk.constructor({enabled: false});
Detect whether the terminal [supports color](https://github.com/chalk/supports-color). Used internally and handled for you, but exposed for convenience.
Can be overridden by the user with the flags `--color` and `--no-color`. For situations where using `--color` is not possible, add an environment variable `FORCE_COLOR` with any value to force color. Trumps `--no-color`.
Chalk does not support anything other than the base eight colors, which guarantees it will work on all terminals and systems. Some terminals, specifically `xterm` compliant ones, will support the full range of 8-bit colors. For this the lower level [ansi-256-colors](https://github.com/jbnicolai/ansi-256-colors) package can be used.
