printf(BOLD("굵은 글씨") " " DIM("연한 글씨") "\n");

printf(ITALIC("ITALIC " BOLD("ITALIC AND BOLD")));

/* template 만들기 */
const char *int_template = MAGENTA("%d") "\n";
printf(int_template, 15);
  ~~> prints magenta colored "15"

const char *n_times_m = BLUE("%d X %d") " = " BG_CYAN("%d");
printf(n_times_m, 5, 6, 30);
