-* `original` {Function} An `async` function
-* Returns: {Function} a callback style function
+* `format` {String} `format` one of the color format from `util.inspect.colors`
+* `text` {String} The text you would like to color
+* Returns: {string} colored text string
 
-Takes an `async` function (or a function that returns a `Promise`) and returns a
-function following the error-first callback style, i.e. taking
-an `(err, value) => ...` callback as the last argument. In the callback, the
-first argument will be the rejection reason (or `null` if the `Promise`
-resolved), and the second argument will be the resolved value.
+Takes `format` and `text` and retuns the colored text form
 
 ```js
 const util = require('node:util');
 
-async function fn() {
-  return 'hello world';
-}
-const callbackFunction = util.callbackify(fn);
-
-callbackFunction((err, ret) => {
-  if (err) throw err;
-  console.log(ret);
-});
-```
-
-Will print:
-
-```text
-hello world
-```
-
-The callback is executed asynchronously, and will have a limited stack trace.
-If the callback throws, the process will emit an [`'uncaughtException'`][]
-event, and if not handled will exit.
-
-Since `null` has a special meaning as the first argument to a callback, if a
-wrapped function rejects a `Promise` with a falsy value as a reason, the value
-is wrapped in an `Error` with the original value stored in a field named
-`reason`.
-
-```js
-function fn() {
-  return Promise.reject(null);
-}
-const callbackFunction = util.callbackify(fn);
-
-callbackFunction((err, ret) => {
-  // When the Promise was rejected with `null` it is wrapped with an Error and
-  // the original value is stored in `reason`.
-  err && Object.hasOwn(err, 'reason') && err.reason === null;  // true
-});
+console.log(util.colorText('red', 'This text shall be in red color'));
+// ^ '\u001b[31mThis text shall be in red color\u001b[39m'
