// ES5 version of chalk replacement with chaining :)

var util = require("util");

function C(text) {
    var self = {};
    Object.keys(util.inspect.colors).forEach(function(name) {
        var color = util.inspect.colors[name];
        self[name] = function() {
            return C(util.format("\x1B[%sm%s\x1B[%sm", color[0], text, color[1]));
        };
    });
    self.toString = self.valueOf = self.str = function() { return text; };
    return self;
}

console.log("This is the message: %s", C("Yai!").green().underline());

colors.js

var util = require("util");

function C(color, text) {
    var c = util.inspect.colors[color];
    return c ? util.format("\x1B[%sm%s\x1B[%sm", c[0], text, c[1]) : text;
}

console.log(C("green", "Yai!"));



console.log("Supported colors: %s", Object.keys(util.inspect.colors));
