-Blessed is an easy, practical library for making terminal apps, by providing an
-elegant, well-documented interface to Colors, Keyboard input, and screen
-position and Location capabilities.
+Makes ANSI escape character sequences for producing colored terminal text and
+cursor positioning work under MS Windows.
+
+ANSI escape character sequences have long been used to produce colored terminal
+text and cursor positioning on Unix and Macs. Colorama makes this work on
+Windows, too, by wrapping stdout, stripping ANSI sequences it finds (which
+otherwise show up as gobbledygook in your output), and converting them into the
+appropriate win32 calls to modify the state of the terminal. On other platforms,
+Colorama does nothing.
+
+Colorama also provides some shortcuts to help generate ANSI sequences but works
+fine in conjunction with any other ANSI sequence generation library, such as
+Termcolor.
