 # color
-Go package containing color constants for ANSI terminals
+Go package containing color constants for ANSI terminals.
+
+# Intention
+The idea is to provide constants that can be used for simple color commands. Colors are simple
+string constants that can be included in printf commands, such as:
+```go
+    fmt.Printf("Normal text – %sthis is green%s this is bold and green%s and this is regular again.\n",
+               color.Green, color.Bold, color.Reset)
+```
+You can also combine instructions such as:
+```go
+const ErrorColor = color.Red + color.Bold
+fmt.Printf("%sThis is wrong\n%s", ErrorColor, color.Reset)
+```
+There is intentionally no code such as functions to print something in a specific color. If you are looking for
+something like that, look into [fatih/color](https://github.com/fatih/color).
