You can use ANSI escape codes to output colored text to the terminal in Python. This somewhat depends on what platform you are on. The most common way to do this is by printing ANSI escape sequences. For a simple example, here's some Python code from the Blender build scripts: HEADER = '\033[95m' OKBLUE = '\033[94m' OKCYAN = '\033[96m'

An example of printing red text: text = 'Hello, World!' print(colored_text) #or print(colored(255, 0, 0, 'Hello, World!')) Multi-colored text print(text) This is actually the proper answer to the question and should be selected. The question is how to print colours in python and NOT what external libraries can be used.

Some terminals also can display Unicode characters. If that is true for your terminal, the possible characters are almost unlimited. You can use ANSI escape codes to output colored text to the terminal in Python. This somewhat depends on what platform you are on. The most common way to do this is by printing ANSI escape sequences.

The benefit of this method is that nothing, other than Python, needs to be installed for it to work. So, let's start with an example. This first example will set the text to be bold, green and be shown on a black background (\ is used to break the code up onto separate lines (excluding the first one before 033)): print("\033[1;32;40m\
