instead of getting a color i get this [31mHello World !!![0m using termcolor and colored

Question

I tried using different methods, the results are the same in cmd and poweshell however i couldnt get it to show the color. The code i used:

from termcolor import *
print(colored('Hello World !!!', "red"))

Output:

"[31mHello World !!![0m"

I get this weird charachters around "Hello World !!!" and it doesn't appear colored.

If you run your code in linux it would give you your desired output not in windows. Powershell does support coloring of output, you need to specify -ForegroundColor parameter like

Write-Host "PREREQUISITIES" -ForegroundColor Cyan
