To color your text, type:
ansi(<letter of the color>, <text>)
So if you wanted green text, you'd type: ansi(g, Hello!)
If you wanted black text with a white background, you'd type: ansi(xW, Hello!)
To test what your text looks like, type: think ansi(xW, Hello!)
The think command is the same as the @pemit/silent me=<text> command.
