Colorette offers a lightning-fast and lightweight alternative to Chalk for terminal styling. It efficiently adds color and formatting to console output using ANSI escape codes. Colorette intelligently skips styling when running in non-TTY environments, avoiding unnecessary overhead and ensuring clean logs. Zero dependencies and modular design mean small bundle sizes, making it ideal for applications prioritizing performance and size. Great for projects looking to add readable outputs.
Colorette's release frequency is inconsistent. Initial bursts of releases occurred in late 2018 and September-October 2021. Releases slowed dramatically, with very few versions published after 2021. There have been no releases in 2024 or 2025 so far.
Colorette npm package downloads show significant growth from February 2024 (36M) to July 2025 (186M). Downloads generally increased, peaking in June 2025 (190M). August 2025 data is incomplete but shows a significant decrease, potentially due to the partial month.
