Terminal Colors Using Ruby
So you want to add color to your terminal app? Since you're a programmer, the first thing you do is go straight to Google. This generally leads people to two ideas. One is the popular Colorize gem, which is an easy and super convenient way to get color functionality into your app. You just install the gem, require it into whatever file(s) you wish to use it in, and then you'll have several color utility functions added onto the String class. Other things people often run into are Stack Overflow posts like this one, which essentially peel back the curtain on how the Colorize gem works. When we want to add colors to a string, we wrap the string in an ANSI escape code that signals how your terminal emulator should style the text.

Best gem for coloring the Windows 10 command prompt and btw what does IRB use?
The named colors available through the colorize gem are defined in Colorize::ClassMethods#color_codes, L61-73. You'll notice the colors are organized into two columns of 8 colors, plus default. Any basic color terminal will support 8 colors. The next level of support is 16 colors, and finally 265 colors. IRB does something similar in Colorize::DEFAULTS on L29-L34. Note that these two classes share a name, but they're entirely different and unrelated.

Where to put custom methods that are accesible anywhre in the application.
You can add methods to every object but again, usually not the best way. If you need this very often in a class / file and want to avoid a lot of repetition of calling a method on a utility class you can use Refinements to alter e.g. String for that class / file. example in Rainbow
