Take a look at [https://github.com/qqtop/NimCx](https://github.com/qqtop/NimCx)
which was made for similar problems. You could do something like import nimcx var nocolor:bool = false printLnBiCol("exit (quitting the app)", colLeft = if nocolor==true: termwhite else: yellow,sep = " ") Run printLnBiCol is a function which allows you to specify two colors and much more without having to fuzz about with terminal codes.
