You need the terminal color codes. For linux it's the following (your system might be different, look it up): | |
//the following are UBUNTU/LINUX, and MacOS ONLY terminal color codes. | |
#define RESET "\033[0m" | |
#define BLACK "\033[30m" /* Black */ | |
#define RED "\033[31m" /* Red */ | |
#define GREEN "\033[32m" /* Green */ | |
#define YELLOW "\033[33m" /* Yellow */ | |
#define BLUE "\033[34m" /* Blue */ | |
#define MAGENTA "\033[35m" /* Magenta */ | |
#define CYAN "\033[36m" /* Cyan */ | |
#define WHITE "\033[37m" /* White */ | |
#define BOLDBLACK "\033[1m\033[30m" /* Bold Black */ | |
#define BOLDRED "\033[1m\033[31m" /* Bold Red */ | |
#define BOLDGREEN "\033[1m\033[32m" /* Bold Green */ | |
#define BOLDYELLOW "\033[1m\033[33m" /* Bold Yellow */ | |
#define BOLDBLUE "\033[1m\033[34m" /* Bold Blue */ | |
#define BOLDMAGENTA "\033[1m\033[35m" /* Bold Magenta */ | |
#define BOLDCYAN "\033[1m\033[36m" /* Bold Cyan */ | |
#define BOLDWHITE "\033[1m\033[37m" /* Bold White */ | |
This allows you to do the following: | |
std::cout << RED << "hello world" << RESET << std::endl; | |
Note: If you don't use RESET the color will remain changed until the next time you use a color code. | |

And what a coincidence, it's similar to python.
