How to color it in C++

Question

Answer 1

there are some ways to do it. this approach is better than system(color f2). you can use any combination of red green and blue on the foreground (text) and the background. don't forget to include <window.h>. it only works in windows console.

example:
HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, FOREGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY);
std::cout << "Hey there!" << std::endl;
