namespace ColorConsole
{
    class Program

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //print lines in color
            Console.WriteLine("console in Orange", Color.Orange);
            Console.WriteLine("console in RGB color", Color.FromArgb(123, 214, 56));

            //Text formating
            string words = "ABC {0} PQR {1}";
            string[] colorWords = new string[]
            {
                "MANOJ",
                "DHOBALE"
            };
            Console.WriteLineFormatted(words, Color.Brown, Color.Yellow, colorWords);


            //Convert text to ASCII art
            int DA = 244;
            int V = 22;
            int ID = 233;
