Checks whether the color is valid.

Invalid colors are colors that don't exist, for example something like

 ColoredString str("foo", 666, 666);

will yield an invalid color. Also, a color like

 ColoredString color("foo", c_nochange, c_nochange)

is not considered a color, because it does not change the output in any way.

static void libthrowable::ColoredString::disable

(

bool

arg = true

)

throw () [inline, static]

Disables any colored output.
