Use this program:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/rivo/tview"
)

func main() {
	app := tview.NewApplication()
	textView := tview.NewTextView().SetDynamicColors(true)

	colors := []string{
		"black",
		"maroon",
		"green",
		"olive",
		"navy",
		"purple",
		"teal",
		"silver",
		"gray",
		"red",
		"lime",
		"yellow",
		"blue",
		"fuchsia",
		"aqua",
		"white",
	}

	for _, c := range colors {
		fmt.Fprintf(textView, "[%s::b]Hello World![-::-] ", c)
		fmt.Fprintf(textView, "[%s::br]Hello World![-::-] ", c)
		fmt.Fprintf(textView, "[%s::]Hello World![-::] ", c)
		fmt.Fprintf(textView, "[%s::r]Hello World![-::-] ", c)
		fmt.Fprintf(textView, "[%s::d]Hello World![-::-] ", c)
		fmt.Fprintf(textView, "[%s::dr]Hello World![-::-]\n", c)
	}
	
	if err := app.SetRoot(textView, true).Run(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

However, you are right:

I'll look into this.
