Colours are not part of the standard of the language. It would depend on your operating system, console and/or GUI library. Strictly speaking, it is not possible on Code Playground.

You can try using SDL2 on your PC. You may want to use C++. https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/498964/?ref=app

It would be best to look into existing GUI libraries if you want to do colours. Console applications would focus solely on getting the job done. However, if you insist, you may check this link out. It would work on desktop. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9203362/c-color-text-in-terminal-applications-in-windows

Hello hasty ! You tell that it is not possible in code playground but it is possible in other app or software.
