DEFAULT_COLOR

DEFAULT_COLOR is the ANSI escape code that resets only the foreground (text) color to the terminal's default, leaving background color and intensity attributes untouched.

Definition

const DEFAULT_COLOR = "\x1b[39m";

Description

The value "\x1b[39m" is SGR parameter 39 — "default foreground color". It restores the terminal's default foreground color without resetting the background, bold, or any other attribute. Use it instead of \x1b[0m when you only want to cancel a color applied by Colors or a custom getColorCode call.

Usage

import { Colors, DEFAULT_COLOR } from "ts-better-console";

// Resets only foreground — background/intensity untouched
console.log(Colors.red + "Red text" + DEFAULT_COLOR);
console.log("This is back to default color");
