My Timer

This document defines a CustomTimer class that uses a System.Timers.Timer to count down from a specified duration. The timer changes the console text color as the duration decreases. When the duration reaches 0, it stops the timer and displays a message that time is up. The class contains methods to start the timer counting down from a given duration, update the console output as the duration decreases each tick, and stop the timer.
