Colored text in Windows Console

[FalterrisAunvre]

I'm trying to develop a roguelike game for the console, and I decided that black and white simply won't fit the bill as well as I though it would. I know that there are ANSI/ASCII escape codes that can make text a different color, but I'm not sure how to implement them in C++. If anybody knows how, please share. Thanks!

and BTW, I don't want to use system("COLOR"), it turns the ENTIRE console one color.

IF you don't want to use system() function then you can use code for changing color aviable here http://codeincodeblock.blogspot.com/2011/03/changing-text-color-in-codeblock.html
