How to display rainbow message in console.log

Hi have a script for rainbowtizing console.log output.

When i try, console.log output raw string, but if i copy this output in another console.log, he output the message with the correct color.

Do you know why ?

var input = document.getElementById('input');

input.addEventListener("blur", function() {
	var inputValue = input.value;
	var inputSplitted = inputValue.split("");
	
	let i = 0,
		inputLength = inputSplitted.length;
	var newLog ='"';
	var colors = "";
	for(i=0; i<inputLength; i++){
		// Chaque lettre est contenue dans inputSplitted[i]
		newLog += "%c"+inputSplitted[i];
		colors += ',"color: '+randomColor()+';"';
	}
	newLog +='"';
	var log = newLog+colors;
	console.log(log);
	console.log("%ch%ce%cl%cl%co%c %cw%co%cr%cl%cd","color: #144143;","color: #40C71F;","color: #5B7487;","color: #E3E226;","color: #6A8693;","color: #EC8802;","color: #9D44DE;","color: #1F1C4D;","color: #92812D;","color: #7A412C;","color: #73936F;");
});

function randomColor() {
	var letters = '0123456789ABCDEF';
	var color = '#';
	for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++ ) {
		color += letters[Math.floor(Math.random() * 16)];
	}
	return color;
}
<input type=text name=input id=input>

As is said in the comment the browser handles the string just as a string and not as parameters.

You have to declare an array and use console.log.apply.

Have a look:

var input = document.getElementById('input');

input.addEventListener("blur", function() {
	var inputValue = input.value;
	var inputSplitted = inputValue.split("");
	
	let i = 0,
		inputLength = inputSplitted.length;
	var newLog ='';
	var colors = "";
	for(i=0; i<inputLength; i++){
		// Chaque lettre est contenue dans inputSplitted[i]
		newLog += "%c"+inputSplitted[i];
		colors += '||color: '+randomColor()+';';
	}
	newLog +='';
	var log = newLog+colors;
	var arr = log.split('||');
	console.log.apply(console, arr);
	console.log("%ch%ce%cl%cl%co%c %cw%co%cr%cl%cd","color: #144143;","color: #40C71F;","color: #5B7487;","color: #E3E226;","color: #6A8693;","color: #EC8802;","color: #9D44DE;","color: #1F1C4D;","color: #92812D;","color: #7A412C;","color: #73936F;");
});



function randomColor() {
	var letters = '0123456789ABCDEF';
	var color = '#';
	for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++ ) {
		color += letters[Math.floor(Math.random() * 16)];
	}
	return color;
}
<input type=text name=input id=input>

Hope this code will help you. :)
