It doesn't work, help plz.
My output using this library looks like:

e[0;31m>> Select input:

>> 1 - random
>> 2 - manual
e[0m

e[0;31m appears instead of colored text. I think smth wrong with my console. I'm using Visual Studio 2019 with Windows 10. Tried to use this library on my another laptop, with the same config, but the same result. Help me plz :3
