+### Colorized Output
+
+You can enable colorized output by setting the `colors` option to `true`. This is useful for development environments to improve readability.
+
+```ts
+let router = createRouter({
+  middleware: [
+    logger({
+      colors: true,
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+```
+
+When `colors` is enabled, the following tokens will be color-coded:
+- `%method`
+- `%status`
+- `%durationPretty`
+- `%contentLengthPretty`
+
 ### Custom Logger
 
 You can use a custom logger to write logs to a file or other stream.
