colours

Use colours to increase clarity & visual appeal

What library?

Python supports text colour on the terminal. Based on the JH injunction against installing additional py packages, the best option appears to be colorama which is part of base Python

Usage is pretty straightforward:

import colorama
print( colorama.Fore.YELLOW, colorama.Back.BLUE, "Here is some text", colorama.Style.RESET_ALL )

Style guide

Yah, this is important! If we use colours inconsistently, then we create an effect that's unappealing at best and nausea-inducing at worst. Style guide started here in the wiki.

I will prototype this in current work on additional summary statistics, or possibly accounting audit.
