Colors

[Argy]

Hi,I would like to know if it is possible to have diferent colors on your text.
There is the system("color (your choice)") to change background and foreground colors.
For example if i want to print text on red and after the next text message to be on green? without changing the one on red?

Argy, you may want to look at something like ncurses

Well something else which would be usefull to me,is how to make your own colors using RGB system.
Anyone with some ideas?

If you want to make a pretty user interface with colors don't waste your time working in the console. Just learn a GUI package: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_platform-independent_GUI_libraries

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

	const HANDLE console = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
	for (unsigned i = 1; i < 15; ++i)
	{
		SetConsoleTextAttribute(console, i);
		cout << "Hellow world" << ' ' << i << endl;
		Sleep(500);
	}
	
	cin.ignore();
	return 0;
}
