Colors in JavaScript console

Question

Can Chrome\'s built-in JavaScript console display colors?

I want errors in red, warnings in orange and console.log\'s in green. Is that possible?

I actually just found this by accident being curious with what would happen but you can actually use bash colouring flags to set the colour of an output in Chrome:

console.log('\x1b[36m Hello \x1b[34m Colored \x1b[35m World!');
console.log('\x1B[31mHello\x1B[34m World');
console.log('\x1b[43mHighlighted');

Output:

See this link for how colour flags work: https://misc.flogisoft.com/bash/tip_colors_and_formatting

Basically use the \x1b or \x1B in place of \e. eg. \x1b[31m and all text after that will be switched to the new colour.

I haven't tried this in any other browser though, but thought it worth mentioning.
