-### chalk.enabled
-
-Color support is automatically detected, as is the level (see `chalk.level`). However, if you'd like to simply enable/disable Chalk, you can do so via the `.enabled` property. When `chalk.enabled` is `true`, `chalk.level` must *also* be greater than `0` for colored output to be produced.
-
-Chalk is enabled by default unless explicitly disabled via `new chalk.Instance()` or `chalk.level` is `0`.

-If you need to change this in a reusable module, create a new instance:

-```js
-const ctx = new chalk.Instance({enabled: false});

 ### chalk.level
 
-Color support is automatically detected, but you can override it by setting the `level` property. You should however only do this in your own code as it applies globally to all Chalk consumers. When `chalk.level` is greater than `0`, `chalk.enabled` must *also* be `true` for colored output to be produced.
