Typing stubs for colorama
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use colorama in a type-checked project. It has zero runtime overhead, low install friction, and is actively maintained. Install it alongside colorama when you want static type checking to cover colorama calls. Not needed if you don't use type checkers or don't use colorama.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.
- Actively maintained as part of typeshed; last commit 2026-08-14.

What it is and what it does
types-colorama is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the colorama library. It allows static type checkers like mypy and pyright to understand and validate code using colorama's terminal color and styling functions. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are kept in sync with colorama 0.4.* releases.
This package has no runtime dependencies and is installed purely to support development-time type checking. It is tested against mypy 1.20.0 and pyright 1.1.408 to ensure the annotations remain accurate. If you use colorama in a type-checked codebase, installing this package enables your type checker to catch type errors related to colorama usage.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that imports and uses colorama
- Catch type errors in colorama API calls during static analysis before runtime
- Support IDE autocomplete and type hints for colorama functions in development
- Validate colorama usage in CI/CD pipelines running type checkers for code quality
