  204 +If you use the [`rang`](https://github.com/agauniyal/rang/wiki) library to add color to your terminal in a safe, multi-platform way, you can combine it with CLI11 nicely:
  205 +
  206 +```
  207 +std::atexit([](){std::cout << rang::style::reset;});
  208 +try {
  209 + app.parse(argc, argv);
  210 +} catch (const CLI::ParseError &e) {
  211 + std::cout << (e.exit_code==0 ? rang::fg::blue : rang::fg::red);
  212 + return app.exit(e);
  213 +}
  214 +```
  215 +
  216 +This will print help in blue, errors in red, and will reset before returning the terminal to the user.
