• rainbow

  Ruby gem for colorizing printed text on ANSI terminals (by ku1ik)

• colorize

  6 1,239 6.9 Ruby

  Ruby string class extension. It add some methods to set color, background color and text effect on console easier using ANSI escape sequences.

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.

  The most customisable and low-latency cross platform/shell prompt renderer

Not specifically Ruby, but if you're looking to get better prompt support, I'd recommend taking a look at oh-my-powershell: https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh (rough equivalent to the fantastic oh-my-zsh in Linux-land)
