This function returns a formatted text considering the format passed.

import { styleText } from 'node:util';
const errorMessage = styleText('red', 'Error! Error!');
console.log(errorMessage);

util.inspect.colors also provides text formats such as italic, and underline and you can combine both:

console.log(
  util.styleText(['underline', 'italic'], 'My italic underlined message'),
);

When passing an array of formats, the order of the format applied is left to right so the following style might overwrite the previous one.

console.log(
  util.styleText(['red', 'green'], 'text'), // green
);

The full list of formats can be found in modifiers.
