Are you telling us that every class you've written writes output? This
seems rather odd -- better to localise that to a specific class which
you can switch colouring styles on and off with, rather than make
every class do it's own colourised output. Think of Logger -- you can
tell it to use a different formatter, and you can easily construct a
global Logger object that writes where you wish. Then in your various
classes, you call the Logger object and leave it to handle the
formatting and writing.
