Bash color output

807598Sep 17 2006 — edited Sep 17 2006
Say you had a terminal application and you wanted to control the color of important output. I know that obviously the console running it would have to support colors, but how would you go about formatting the output?

Would you have to actually execute a bash command when printing your output? or is this not possible since i have really never seen any terminal applications with color output rather then directories and files/permissions.

thanks
