  Maybe I didn't write it clear. :-) What I meant was, that even though I
don't use any other functions from colorama (I color all the strings with
termcolor) - I still have to use init() function from colorama. 
  termcolor doesn't want to work alone, even though its described as OS
independent. I guess it works fine on Linux terminal without init()
function from colorama. In cmd.exe I need colorama just for this.
