你可以使用转义序列，如果你的终端支持的话。例如:

echo \[\033[32m\]Hello, \[\033[36m\]colourful \[\033[33mworld!\033[0m\]

在OSX shell上，这为我工作(包括“红色文本”前面的2个空格):

$ printf "\e[033;31m  red text\n"
$ echo "$(tput setaf 1)  red text"

我知道这个问题很老了，但我把这个答案贴出来给未来的读者。我用c++写了一个用于彩色输出的库。这使用操纵者，使工作容易支持跨平台，但没有在这里测试是如何使用这个，

#include "srilakshmikanthanp/ANSI.hpp"

using namespace srilakshmikanthanp;

3位和4位颜色:

// background
std::cout << ansi::BGyellow;
// foreground
std::cout << ansi::FGblue;
// output
std::cout << "Blue on yellow";
// reset
std::cout << ansi::reset;

8位颜色:

// background
std::cout << ansi::BGcolor(157);
// foreground
std::cout << ansi::FGcolor(100);
// outpt
std::cout << "8 bit color";
// reset
std::cout << ansi::reset;

24位颜色:

// background
std::cout << ansi::BGcolor(0, 255, 0);
// foreground
std::cout << ansi::FGcolor(0, 0, 255);
// output
std::cout << "24 bit color";
// reset
std::cout << ansi::reset;

字符串:

使用ansi::str可以很容易地将这个操作符转换为字符串

std::string BGyellow = ansi::str(ansi::BGyellow);
std::string FGblue = ansi::str(ansi::FGblue);
std::string reset = ansi::str(ansi::reset);

std::cout << BGyelow;
// foreground
std::cout << FGblue;
// output
std::cout << "Blue on Yellow";
// reset
std::cout << reset;

你可以在github上找到更多的信息:)

你可以使用ANSI颜色代码。

使用这些函数。

enum c_color{BLACK=30,RED=31,GREEN=32,YELLOW=33,BLUE=34,MAGENTA=35,CYAN=36,WHITE=37};
enum c_decoration{NORMAL=0,BOLD=1,FAINT=2,ITALIC=3,UNDERLINE=4,RIVERCED=26,FRAMED=51};
void pr(const string str,c_color color,c_decoration decoration=c_decoration::NORMAL){
  cout<<"\033["<<decoration<<";"<<color<<"m"<<str<<"\033[0m";
}

void prl(const string str,c_color color,c_decoration decoration=c_decoration::NORMAL){
   cout<<"\033["<<decoration<<";"<<color<<"m"<<str<<"\033[0m"<<endl;
}

我使用下面的解决方案，它非常简单和优雅，可以很容易地粘贴到源代码中，并在Linux/Bash上工作:

const std::string red("\033[0;31m");
const std::string green("\033[1;32m");
const std::string yellow("\033[1;33m");
const std::string cyan("\033[0;36m");
const std::string magenta("\033[0;35m");
const std::string reset("\033[0m");

std::cout << "Measured runtime: " << yellow << timer.count() << reset << std::endl;

这是一个老主题，但我编写了一个类，其中包含嵌套子类和由简单C宏定义的颜色静态成员。

我在dreamincode.net中通过用户no2pencil从这篇文章中获得了颜色函数。

我这样做是为了能够像这样使用std::cout流中的静态常量:

cout << zkr::cc::fore::red << "This is red text. " 
     << zkr::cc::console << "And changing to console default colors, fg, bg."
     << endl;

类和测试程序的源代码可以在这里下载。

cc::console将重置为控制台默认颜色和属性，cc::underline将为文本下划线，这在putty上工作，我已经测试了测试程序。

颜色:

black
blue
red
magenta
green
cyan
yellow
white

lightblack
lightblue
lightred
lightmagenta
lightgreen
lightcyan
lightyellow
lightwhite

它可以用于cc静态类的前静态和后静态子类。

为了更实用，我在这里添加了类代码。

颜色代码宏:

#define CC_CONSOLE_COLOR_DEFAULT "\033[0m"
#define CC_FORECOLOR(C) "\033[" #C "m"
#define CC_BACKCOLOR(C) "\033[" #C "m"
#define CC_ATTR(A) "\033[" #A "m"

main color函数定义屏幕的颜色或属性:

char *cc::color(int attr, int fg, int bg)
{
    static char command[13];

    /* Command is the control command to the terminal */
    sprintf(command, "%c[%d;%d;%dm", 0x1B, attr, fg + 30, bg + 40);
    return command;
}
