print_colour(text, colour)
color_text(text, color)
colour_text(text, colour)
color_theme()Arguments

Character vector, indicating the colour for printing. May be one of
"white","black","red","yellow","green","blue","violet","cyan"or"grey". Bright variants of colors are available by adding the prefix"b"(or"br_"or"bright_"), e.g."bred"(or"br_red"resp."bright_red"). Background colors can be set by adding the prefix"bg_"(e.g."bg_red"). Formatting is also possible with"bold"or"italic".
Details
This function prints text directly to the console using
cat(), so no string is returned. color_text(), however,
returns only the formatted string, without using cat().
color_theme() either returns "dark" when RStudio is used
with dark color scheme, "light" when it's used with light theme,
and NULL if the theme could not be detected.
