Tiny bash utility for  coloring terminal output and prompt

![](./examples/usage.gif)

The motivating use case was easily stacking styles, which is not possible to do with other tools like [node's chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk-cli):

![](./examples/stacking.gif)

Useful for templating colorful prompts (use `-e|--escape [zsh|bash]` for this)

for bash: `PS1=$(clc -e bash ']>$ >')`

for zsh: `PS1=$(clc -e zsh ']>$ >')`
