Setting a text color gloabally

[vmohan]

I wanted to know if there is a way to set a textcolor globally, like for all console output for a program, i'd like to have the same color. I tried just using textcolor(); in my main function but it seems like it is changing color to the default one halfway between cout statements in other fucntions.
Thank you.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
	
	system("color XY"); 
	cout << "Hello World!";

return 0;		
}

here,
X = background color (0 to 9 , A to F)
Y = text color (0 to 9 , A to F)

that statement doesn't seem to work on turboc++
right now, the problem is that when I use textcolor, it does work, but halfway through the output, the color reverts back to default.

Here's my output code.
Right after where it says about, the color changes back.

   char a[]="                                MAIN MENU \n\n1.Administrator mode\n2.Consumer Mode\n3.
More Information\n4.About\n5.Exit             Please enter a valid choice to continue.\n";
for (int i=0;a[i]!='\0';i++)
    {
     cout<<a[i];
      delay(10);
     }
