[](#api)

```
$colr = new Colr;  // or
$colr = new Colr(array(
    "ok" => array("fg" => Colr::BLACK, "bg" => Colr::GREEN)
));
```

Use `fg()` to set foreground color:

```
$colr->fg(Colr::GREEN);
```

Use `bg()` to set background color:

```
$colr->bg(Colr::GREEN);
```

Use `set()` to select predefined preset:

```
$colr = new Colr(array(
    "ok" => array("fg" => Colr::BLACK, "bg" => Colr::GREEN)
));
$colr->set("ok");
```

Use `write()` to echo some text:

```
$colr->write("hello");
```

Use `writeln()` to echo some text with new line:

```
$colr->writeln("hello");
```

Method chaining:

```
$colr->fg(Color::GREEN)->write("hello");
```
