java using color with System.out??
 

Hi.

Does anyone know a way of using System.out.println("whatever") so that i can define the color of the string output to the screen?

cheers.

Assuming your terminal emulator is accepting ansi color sequences, which is nowadays almost always the case, you can send escape sequences that change the foreground and background colors.

e.g.: System.out.println("\033[31m\033[44mHello world\033[0m\n");
