How to print out a variable's value in another colour?

Question

Hi guys, so this question is kind of related to the other question that I asked:
https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/1603568/?ref=app

I mucked around for a while, and I came up with another question:

Is there a way to print out a variable on screen in a different color?

Let's say I have:
[BEG]
name = 'Booey'
[END]

Running:
[BEG]
print(name)
[END]

will obviously return:
[BEG]
Booey
[END]

But how do I print it out in a different color?

I tried:
[BEG]
print(\033[32mname)
[END]

And I got:
[BEG]
>>> print(\033[32mname)
File "<stdin>", line 1
print(\033[32mname)
^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
[END]

Then I tried:
[BEG]
print('\033[32mname']
[END]

and got the output:
[BEG]
name
[END]
... printed in green

I want to print out:
"my name is Booey", using the variable "name" instead of the string "Booey", and have it printed in another colour.

Anyone?

Answer 1

name = 'Booey'
print( "my name is \033[32m" +name +"\033[m")

# where "\033[m" in the end, is set off color after print name

here is some other basic codes for colour and style

Also, I apologize in advance for the messy post. I didn't know how else to include samples and examples. I didn't know how or if I was able to format the text.

If there isn't rich formatting, then is there a standard format that you guys use to include snippets of codes and stuff?

zemiak Brilliant! Thanks.. I actually just figured it out myself yesterday and was just going to post a comment to share my findings..

Also, for those that care:

If you plan on using a lot of colors, instead of typing out "\033[3?m" every time you want to use a color, you can create a variable for each color. For example, you can do something like :
[BEG]
cGREEN = '\033[32m'
cRED = '\033[31m'
cRESET = '\033[m'
name = 'Booey'
[END]

And then use it like:
[BEG]
print(green + 'my' + cRESET + ' name is ' + cRED + NAME + cRESET)
[END]
