A creature called David Etheredge screamed at All:

   I just use ansi colours here.  I defined strings like:

#define BLACK         "\033[0;30m"
#define RED           "\033[0;31m"
#define GREEN         "\033[0;32m"
#define BROWN         "\033[0;33m"
#define BLUE          "\033[0;34m"
#define MAGENTA       "\033[0;35m"
#define CYAN          "\033[0;36m"
#define GREY          "\033[0;37m"
#define DARKGREY      "\033[1;30m"
#define LIGHTRED      "\033[1;31m"

   etc...

   And just do:

   VioWrtTTY(RED "This is in RED!",22,0);
