\n\n> Terminal string styling done right\n\n[](https://codecov.io/gh/chalk/chalk)\n[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk?activeTab=dependents)\n[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk)\n\n\n\n## Info\n\n- [Why not switch to a smaller coloring package?](https://github.com/chalk/chalk?tab=readme-ov-file#why-not-switch-to-a-smaller-coloring-package)\n- See [yoctocolors](https://github.com/sindresorhus/yoctocolors) for a smaller alternative\n\n## Highlights\n\n- Expressive API\n- Highly performant\n- No dependencies\n- Ability to nest styles\n- [256/Truecolor color support](#256-and-truecolor-color-support)\n- Auto-detects color support\n- Doesn't extend `String.prototype`\n- Clean and focused\n- Actively maintained\n- [Used by ~115,000 packages](https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended/chalk) as of July 4, 2024\n\n## Install\n\n```sh\nnpm install chalk\n```\n\n**IMPORTANT:** Chalk 5 is ESM. If you want to use Chalk with TypeScript or a build tool, you will probably want to use Chalk 4 for now.
