# supports-color [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/chalk/supports-color.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/chalk/supports-color)

> Detect whether a terminal supports color

## Install

```
$ npm install supports-color
```

## Usage

```js
const supportsColor = require('supports-color');

if (supportsColor) {
	console.log('Terminal supports color');
}

if (supportsColor.has256) {
	console.log('Terminal supports 256 colors');
}

if (supportsColor.has16m) {
	console.log('Terminal supports 16 million colors (truecolor)');
}
```

## API

Returns an `Object`, or `false` if color is not supported.

The returned object specifies a level of support for color through a `.level` property and a corresponding flag:

- `.level = 1` and `.hasBasic = true`: Basic color support (16 colors)
- `.level = 2` and `.has256 = true`: 256 color support
- `.level = 3` and `.has16m = true`: Truecolor support (16 million colors)

## Info

It obeys the `--color` and `--no-color` CLI flags.

Can be overridden by the user with the flags `--color` and `--no-color`. For situations where using `--color` is not possible, add the environment variable `FORCE_COLOR=1` to forcefully enable color or `FORCE_COLOR=0` to forcefully disable. The use of `FORCE_COLOR` overrides all other color support checks.

Explicit 256/Truecolor mode can be enabled using the `--color=256` and `--color=16m` flags, respectively.
