Is there a way to output text to the R console in color

I am writing a script and I want to output text messages to the console with different colors depending on conditions. For example: RED for errors and BLUE for warnings, etc.

I am using RStudio.

Solution

    library(insight)
print_color("ERROR", "red")
print_color("WARNINGS", "blue")

    Output RStudio:
