I am trying to make the print text blink on esphome connected to an ili9341. I am using the below codes. Can someone please help me with the code to make the text blink in any of the print functions?

    id: my_display
    pages:
      - id: page1
        lambda: |-
          if(id(countdown).state == "Match in progress") {
              it.printf(20, 160, id(digitalsmall), id(my_red), TextAlign::TOP, "%s", id(countdown).state.c_str());
          }
          else {
            it.printf(20, 200, id(comforta), id(my_white), TextAlign::TOP, "%s", id(daymatch).state.c_str());
            it.printf(80, 140, id(digital), id(my_white), TextAlign::TOP, "%s", id(countdown).state.c_str());
          }
