chalk is a clean and focused alternative to colors , which is currently the most popular
string styling module, but it has serious deficiencies like extending
String.prototype which causes all kinds of problems. Although there are other ones, they either do too much or not enough.

Why
- Doesn’t extend String.prototype
- Expressive API

- Auto-detects color support
- Actively maintained
- Used by 150+ modules
