Two great ways to debug better. Happy testing.

1. In Android Studio add font color to logcat.

• How to add color font to logcat follow the below steps:

1.  Open Android Studio
2. Preferences -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> Android Logcat.
3. Click button ‘Save As’, and name your new Scheme. (uncheck ‘Use inherited attributes’)
4. In the right side select a color for each component: Assert, Debug, Error, Info, Verbose, Warning.

2. Add color to terminal adb logcat.
