Nested colors

    console.log(cc('<{red>red text <{green>green text<}> red text<}>'));
    console.log(cc('<{red>red <{green>green <{bold>bold green<}> green<}> red<}>'));

printf-style usage

This should be used when performance is important.

    var fs = require('fs');
    var cc = require('curly-colors');
 
    var dir = './';
    var format = cc('<{yellow>%d<}> <{magenta>%s<}>');
 
    fs.readdirSync(dir).forEach(function(filename) {
        var stat = fs.lstatSync(filename);
        console.log(format, stat.size, filename);
    });

If you need you can also pass the parameters directly to curly-colors

    var result = cc("You're using <{blue>Node<}> <{magenta>%s<}>", process.version);
    console.log(result);
