Could you provide some screenshots and/or a link to a repl where you can produce this? I’m not 100% clear on what you mean so some more information to clarify would be good and help me or another member of the community help you out :slight_smile:

8-colour codes, which is what colorize uses, will produce different colours depending on theme/app. If you want specific colours that will stay the same everywhere, use 256-colour ansi codes, e.g.

puts "\x1b[38;5;99mfoo\x1b[m"

Replace 99 with the colour code of your choice:
