Text color in C++
Hello!
I'm new to C++, and I'm making a text game, where I want the text to be orange. The problem is that I can't figure out how to make it orange.
I've looked on many c++ pages source codes, but none of them wrote how to make the text orange.
I figured out that in CMD, when you enter "Color ?", but there are only 10 colors, and none of them are orange.
Can anyone tell how to solve this problem?

system("Color C"); is a light red color, its not exactly orange,but I'm not aware of any other way to change colors
No problem I just hope ou pay around with text games for a while, but can eventually learn some graphics programming
system("color fc") will set the color of all text on the screen.
To change the color of specific text use http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686047(v=VS.85).aspx (if you use windows)

here's a topic where there's a better explanation (I believe from hamsterman) about how to change the background colour: http://cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/25985/
