 This is not meant for maximal compatibility, nor is it meant to handle a plethora of scenarios.
 It will simply wrap a message with the necessary characters, if the OS handles it.

 prepend `color.Reset` at the end of your string.

+### Disabling Colors
+You can disable colors by using `color.Toggle(false)`, which will cause all functions to not colorize the text.

+As mentioned in [Using Variables](#using-variables), disabling colors will have no effect on the variables, so
