Hi. I was just wondering how I could change the colour of output text in a program in C++. Not using ncurses winows of course. Thanks.

You can print the ANSI code for the color.

printf("\033[34;1mBright Blue\033[37;0m\n");

That will change the color to bright blue and then back to white.

Here's a really good site that talks about all of the ANSI codes and lists which numbers are for which color, etc.:
