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"

最好的方法是使用ncurses库——尽管如果你只是想输出一个简单的彩色字符串，这可能是一个大锤来敲坚果

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 \[\033[33mworld!\033[0m\]

从我的理解，一个典型的ANSI颜色代码

"\033[{FORMAT_ATTRIBUTE};{FORGROUND_COLOR};{BACKGROUND_COLOR}m{TEXT}\033[{RESET_FORMATE_ATTRIBUTE}m"

由(名称和编解码器)组成

FORMAT ATTRIBUTE { "Default", "0" }, { "Bold", "1" }, { "Dim", "2" }, { "Italics", "3"}, { "Underlined", "4" }, { "Blink", "5" }, { "Reverse", "7" }, { "Hidden", "8" } FORGROUND COLOR { "Default", "39" }, { "Black", "30" }, { "Red", "31" }, { "Green", "32" }, { "Yellow", "33" }, { "Blue", "34" }, { "Magenta", "35" }, { "Cyan", "36" }, { "Light Gray", "37" }, { "Dark Gray", "90" }, { "Light Red", "91" }, { "Light Green", "92" }, { "Light Yellow", "93" }, { "Light Blue", "94" }, { "Light Magenta", "95" }, { "Light Cyan", "96" }, { "White", "97" } BACKGROUND COLOR { "Default", "49" }, { "Black", "40" }, { "Red", "41" }, { "Green", "42" }, { "Yellow", "43" }, { "Blue", "44" }, { "Megenta", "45" }, { "Cyan", "46" }, { "Light Gray", "47" }, { "Dark Gray", "100" }, { "Light Red", "101" }, { "Light Green", "102" }, { "Light Yellow", "103" }, { "Light Blue", "104" }, { "Light Magenta", "105" }, { "Light Cyan", "106" }, { "White", "107" } TEXT RESET FORMAT ATTRIBUTE { "All", "0" }, { "Bold", "21" }, { "Dim", "22" }, { "Underlined", "24" }, { "Blink", "25" }, { "Reverse", "27" }, { "Hidden", "28" }

有了这些信息，就很容易给字符串“I am a banana!”上色，前景色为“黄色”，背景色为“绿色”，就像这样

"\033[0;33;42mI am a Banana!\033[0m"

或者用c++库着色

auto const& colorized_text = color::rize( "I am a banana!", "Yellow", "Green" );
std::cout << colorized_text << std::endl;

我为此写了一个跨平台的库color_ostream，支持ANSI color, 256 color和true color，你所要做的就是直接包括它，并像这样将cout改为rd_cout。

这里有一个简单的例子:

//hello.cpp
#include "color_ostream.h"

using namespace color_ostream;

int main([[maybe_unused]] int argc, [[maybe_unused]] char *argv[]) {
    rd_wcout.imbue(std::locale(std::locale(),"",LC_CTYPE));
    rd_wcout << L"Hello world\n";
    rd_wcout << L"Hola Mundo\n";
    rd_wcout << L"Bonjour le monde\n";

    rd256_wcout << L"\n256 color" << std::endl;
    rd256_wcout << L"Hello world\n";
    rd256_wcout << L"Hola Mundo\n";
    rd256_wcout << L"Bonjour le monde\n";

    rdtrue_wcout << L"\ntrue color" << std::endl;
    rdtrue_wcout << L"Hello world\n";
    rdtrue_wcout << L"Hola Mundo\n";
    rdtrue_wcout << L"Bonjour le monde\n";
    return 0;
}

正如其他人所述，您可以使用转义字符。 你可以使用我的标题，以使它更容易:

#ifndef _COLORS_
#define _COLORS_

/* FOREGROUND */
#define RST  "\x1B[0m"
#define KRED  "\x1B[31m"
#define KGRN  "\x1B[32m"
#define KYEL  "\x1B[33m"
#define KBLU  "\x1B[34m"
#define KMAG  "\x1B[35m"
#define KCYN  "\x1B[36m"
#define KWHT  "\x1B[37m"

#define FRED(x) KRED x RST
#define FGRN(x) KGRN x RST
#define FYEL(x) KYEL x RST
#define FBLU(x) KBLU x RST
#define FMAG(x) KMAG x RST
#define FCYN(x) KCYN x RST
#define FWHT(x) KWHT x RST

#define BOLD(x) "\x1B[1m" x RST
#define UNDL(x) "\x1B[4m" x RST

#endif  /* _COLORS_ */

使用header的宏的一个例子可以是:

#include <iostream>
#include "colors.h"
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << FBLU("I'm blue.") << endl;
    cout << BOLD(FBLU("I'm blue-bold.")) << endl;
    return 0;
}
