Verdict

Finished, not abandoned

colors looks complete rather than neglected — no commits for over 4 years. 23 of 73 open issues have had no reply. A library that has stopped changing is not the same as one that has been dropped.

Why this verdict?

Supply-chain history 1

sabotaged by its maintainer 2022-01 1.4.1, 1.4.44-liberty-2

The maintainer shipped an infinite loop in protest at unpaid corporate use.

npm reverted to 1.4.0, where the package has stayed.

Source: Widely reported; npm rollback, January 2022. History, not a warning about today — the verdict above is about maintenance now.
