just curious, did it print out the color character? something like [31mhello[0m when execute print (colored('hello', 'red'))

Yes, it did print the text in exact way([31mhello[0m) but it was not colored.

Normal print statements will likely not work since they do not understand formatting, and will not send the correct control sequences to the screen. You need to check the documentation for these packages.
