Trying to use escape codes doesn't work as I would have hoped:

color_on = '\033[32m'
color_off = '\033[39m'

menu_item = MenuItem("{0}Menu Item{1}".format(color_on, color_off))

Result:

   1 - ^[[32mMenu Item^[[39m

Thanks...

From what I've read on the subject, the base ncurses library doesn't support ANSI escapes. It has its own methods of coloring text, which I should be able to expose through the MenuItem class pretty easily.

Indeed you are correct.

Implementing the color abilities would be a very nice addition to curses-menu! (info: ncurses colors). Thanks for considering this...

Check colors available on your terminal
1ceccc9 
This is a script made by user l0b0 in which you can run from folder directory
that will allow you to display the number of colors as well as the actual
colors that are supported by your terminal.

I am adding this just a very minor side note for issue pmbarrett314#16. If, by chance, you
are unsure if or how many colors your terminal support, here's an easy way to
find out.

While in the directory of the xterm-color-count, run the command
"./xterm-color-count.sh -v" and all the supported colors will be displayed.

Note: This is not supported on Linux.
