echo "\t" . $p->italics('This is ') .
    $p->bold('*') . $p->bold()->underlined()->yellow('*REALLY*') .
    $p->bold()->onLightBlue(' emphasized*') . '!' . "\n";

echo $p->yellow('Press ')->bolder()->red('ENTER')->yellow(' to continue...') . "\n";

echo "\n";

// Draw the Red, White and Blue:
echo $p->bolder()->red('Red')->dim(', ')->italics()->white('White ')->dim('and ')->blue('Blue') . "\n";
