print("\u001b[34m E \u001b[35m F \u001b[36m G \u001b[37m H \u001b[0mText after reset")

A  B  C  D Text after reset
E  F  G  H Text after reset

print(
    "\u001b[30;1m A \u001b[31;1m B \u001b[32;1m C \u001b[33;1m D \u001b[0mText after reset"
)
print(
    "\u001b[34;1m E \u001b[35;1m F \u001b[36;1m G \u001b[37;1m H \u001b[0mText after reset"
