C++ Win32 Console colors...

[Woodcutter11]

So, this is my situation.

I'm working on a little program and I want to change the foreground/background color on certain places [b]only[/b]. Just an example just in case:

I need help, quick if possible.
Thanks!

I think that's the ncurses library or something

[cpp]
#include<windows.h>

SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), FOREGROUND_INTENSITY | FOREGROUND_GREEN);
[/cpp]

Thank you. Now tell me, can i choose my own colors? If so: how?

1. Look at the code.
2. Use your brain.
3. Profit.

He means, can he use other colors than set constants

Addition is the way to go!

Usually ANSI escape sequences
