Pastel

Allows intuitive style composition with methods like `pastel.red.on_green.bold('text')`, making code readable and reducing verbosity, as demonstrated in the README examples.

Works independently without modifying core Ruby classes like String, ensuring compatibility across environments and avoiding conflicts in larger codebases, a key philosophy highlighted in the README.

Handles nested color sequences intelligently within strings and blocks, automatically managing escape sequences to prevent conflicts, as shown with examples using concatenation and block syntax.

Designed for speed in generating styled strings, which is crucial for CLI applications with frequent output, as noted in the features section.
