+**Update on colors.js roadmap (2018-02-16):** The maintainers have published a pre-release version of `colors` that addresses a number of compatibility issues raised by community.  You may install the
+RC version by specifying `next` or `>=1.2.0-rc0` as the version for `colors` in your `package.json`.  We are eager to receive community feedback on this version in order to move it out of pre-release.
+Please open Issues to provide feedback, and check the `develop` branch for the latest bleeding-edge updates.
