Acknowledgement

Node's chalk is the library that inspired tint the most but the naming of the APIs such as onMagenta instead of bgMagenta and certain aspects of the library are mostly influenced by the console crate from Rust. The ansicolor and ansi_styles packages also provide the same functionality but with a different delivery for the usage. But I personally find extension methods syntactically more fun to use.
