 - **Live Configuration Reloading**: Changes to `config.json` (routes, status codes, etc.) and response files are applied immediately without restarting the server.
 - **Multi-Route Support**: Define as many paths as you need.
 - **JSON Response Files**: Responses are loaded from external JSON files.
-- **Request Logging**: Detailed logging of incoming requests, including methods, paths, and headers.
+- **Colorized Request Logging**: Detailed logging of incoming requests with terminal colors. Status codes are color-coded for quick identification:
+    - <span style="color:green">**2xx Success**</span>: Green
+    - <span style="color:yellow">**4xx Client Error**</span>: Yellow
+    - <span style="color:red">**5xx Server Error**</span>: Red
 - **Header Masking**: Sensitive headers like `Authorization` can be masked in logs.
 - **HTTPS/TLS Support**: Optional TLS support for secure connections.
 - **Automatic Default Generation**: Creates default configuration and response files if they are missing.
