# Gherkin::Formatter::Colors

Defines aliases for coloured output. You don’t invoke any methods from this module directly, but you can change the output colours by defining a `GHERKIN_COLORS` variable in your shell, very much like how you can tweak the familiar POSIX command `ls` with <a href=“$LSCOLORS/$LS_COLORSmipsisrisc.com/rambling/2008/06/27/lscolorsls_colors-now-with-linux-support/”>$LSCOLORS/$LS_COLORS>

The colours that you can change are:

- `undefined` - defaults to `yellow`

- `pending` - defaults to `yellow`

- `pending_param` - defaults to `yellow,bold`

- `failed` - defaults to `red`

- `failed_param` - defaults to `red,bold`

- `passed` - defaults to `green`

- `passed_param` - defaults to `green,bold`

- `outline` - defaults to `cyan`

- `outline_param` - defaults to `cyan,bold`

- `skipped` - defaults to `cyan`

- `skipped_param` - defaults to `cyan,bold`

- `comment` - defaults to `grey`

- `tag` - defaults to `cyan`

For instance, if your shell has a black background and a green font (like the “Homebrew” settings for OS X’ Terminal.app), you may want to override passed steps to be white instead of green. Examples:

    export GHERKIN_COLORS="passed=white"
    export GHERKIN_COLORS="passed=white,bold:passed_param=white,bold,underline"

(If you’re on Windows, use SET instead of export). To see what colours and effects are available, just run this in your shell:

    ruby -e "require 'rubygems'; require 'term/ansicolor'; puts Term::ANSIColor.attributes"

Although not listed, you can also use `grey`
