Terminal Color Formatter

A terminal color formatting utility that works across different JavaScript environments, including those where the Node.js process object may not be available.

Capabilities

Environment Detection

• Detects if color support is available in the current environment, returning true when running in a Node.js terminal with TTY support and false otherwise @test
• When the process object is undefined (browser environment), color support detection returns false without throwing an error @test
• When process.stdout is undefined but process exists, color support detection handles this gracefully and returns false @test

Color Formatting

• Applies red color formatting to text when colors are supported @test
• Returns plain text without ANSI codes when colors are not supported @test
