I do not really know how can solve this exercise but..
you can use dos color command for changing colors you can change backaround screen and lines.

Prints red text to the console...

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <windows.h> 

int main ( void )
{
  HANDLE h = GetStdHandle ( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
  WORD wOldColorAttrs;
  CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO csbiInfo; 
  
  /*
   * First save the current color information
   */
  GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(h, &csbiInfo);
  wOldColorAttrs = csbiInfo.wAttributes; 
  
  /*
   * Set the new color information
   */
  SetConsoleTextAttribute ( h, FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY );
  
  printf ( "This is a test\n" );

  /*
   * Restore the original colors
   */
  SetConsoleTextAttribute ( h, wOldColorAttrs);
  return 0;

The author provided their source.

// Red on White
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),
                  BACKGROUND_INTENSITY | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY |
                  BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_GREEN |
                  BACKGROUND_BLUE |
                  FOREGROUND_RED);

If you want red text on a green background

// Red on Green
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),
                  BACKGROUND_INTENSITY | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY |
                  BACKGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_RED);

insade a example red and background green and lyrics to be a blue

I don't know what you mean with this. Could you elaborate?

I'm guessing you want some text to be red on a green background followed by some blue text on the same green background? Correct me if I'm wrong.

To do that:

// Red on Green
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),
                  BACKGROUND_INTENSITY | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY |
                  BACKGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_RED);

printf("Example ");

// Blue on Green
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),
                  BACKGROUND_INTENSITY | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY |
                  BACKGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_BLUE);

printf("Lyrics");
