Very simplified NodeJS colors in the console

node-colors.js

var color = {
    red:     [31, 39],
    green:   [32, 39],
    yellow:  [33, 39],
    blue:    [34, 39],
    magenta: [35, 39],
    cyan:    [36, 39],
    white:   [37, 39],
    gray:    [90, 39],
    dim:     [2, 22]
};

for (var key in color) {
    (function(){
        var col = '\u001b[' + color[key][0] + 'm',
            reset = '\u001b[' + color[key][1] + 'm';
        color[key] = function(str){
            return col + str + reset;
        };
    })();
}

console.log(color.red('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.yellow('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.green('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.blue('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.cyan('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.magenta('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.white('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.gray('things and stuff'));
console.log(color.dim('things and stuff'));
