[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
varctx=newchalk.constructor({enabled:false});
```
### chalk.supportsColor
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.styles
Exposes the styles as [ANSI escape codes](https://github.com/chalk/ansi-styles).
Generally not useful, but you might need just the `.open` or `.close` escape code if you're mixing externally styled strings with your own.
