Sample

First, import the chalk package.

import shan1024/chalk;

Create a new chalk object. The first argument is the foreground color and the second argument is the background color.

chalk:Chalk chalk = new(chalk:WHITE, chalk:RED);

You can make the text italicized and underlined as well through default-able parameters.

chalk:Chalk chalk = new(chalk:WHITE, chalk:RED, italicize = true, underline = true);

Start colorizing your texts.

string colorizedText = chalk.write("Hello world !!!");
io:println(colorizedText);

Chained invocations are supported.

string colorizedText = chalk.dark().italicize().reverse().write("Hello world !!!");
io:println(colorizedText);

So you can customize the chalk any way you want. Cool, right !!! ;)
