Zero-Dependency Core
Farben-core has zero mandatory dependencies. Only optional features like anstyle interop pull in external crates when you opt in.
FarbenMarkup for the Terminal
Color your terminal without typing whatever the heck '\x1b[31m' is.

Markup-like Syntax
Color your terminal output using intuitive tags like [red], [bold], [rgb(255,0,0)], and chain them like [bold red] or [italic hsl(0,100,50)].
11 Emphasis Styles
Bold, dim, italic, underline, double-underline, blink, rapid-blink, reverse, invisible, strikethrough, overline.
10 Color Formats
Named, ANSI 256, RGB, HSL, HSV/HSB, HWB, Lab, LCH, OKLCh, and hex notation. All work everywhere.
Opt-in Compile-time Processing
Zero runtime overhead, completely opt-in using the library's "compile" feature. Changes nothing but the function calls being macros.
Define Your Own Styles
Define your own styles, either as an alias or as a design token-like behavior. Change [error] to be [bold red], and add a prefix when calling them.
Inline Syntax
Enable the inline feature to write *bold*, /italic/, `code`, ~strikethrough~, and _underline_ directly inside any cprint!/cprintln! call.
anstyle Interop
Convert Farben styles to and from anstyle::Style for use with clap, ratatui, and other anstyle-using crates.
