Changing the Color of text

[Jesus805]

Hello,

I'm currently doing a project and I need a way to color my console text temporarily, I need to create a certain part of my text a certain color, then another part of my text a different color, so system("color 00") is out of the question.

Also is there a function where you can change the text color based on RGB?
like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors

Any help would be greatly appreciated

call GetConsoleWindow() to get a handle to the console then call SetConsoleTextAttribute() to change color, etc.
