This module has two interfaces, one through color() and colored() and the
other through constants. It also offers the utility function uncolor(),

color() takes any number of strings as arguments and considers them to be
space-separated lists of attributes. It then forms and returns the escape
Alternately, if you import C<:constants>, you can use the constants CLEAR,
