I never needed those. I would just have an application wide object property like:

            text: {
                angry    : "\u001b[1m\u001b[31m",
                blue     : "\u001b[34m",
                bold     : "\u001b[1m",
                boldLine : "\u001b[1m\u001b[4m",
                clear    : "\u001b[24m\u001b[22m",
                cyan     : "\u001b[36m",
                green    : "\u001b[32m",
                noColor  : "\u001b[39m",
                none     : "\u001b[0m",
                purple   : "\u001b[35m",
                red      : "\u001b[31m",
                underline: "\u001b[4m",
                yellow   : "\u001b[33m"
            }

And then you can call that directly like:

    `${vars.text.green}whatever${vars.text.none}`;

This is the problem with people trying to be clever. Now you output escape sequences regardless of terminal setting.

Using a library which handles that (an a thousand other quirks) makes much more sense
