You can use 'colortheme' gem to change the color of the text in Ruby.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

install with git hub

git clone https://github.com/nimacpp/colortheme.git
cd colortheme
gem build colortheme.gemspec
gem install colortheme*.gem
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

how can use

first include colortheme in your code :

require 'colortheme'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

then you can use it like this :

require 'colortheme'
puts "hello world".green 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

output :

A pie chart showing 40% responded
