How to echo with different colors in the Windows command line
I wanted to to print one single line in a different color.
Use ANSI Escape Sequences.
Windows before Windows 10 - no native support for ANSI colors on the console
For Windows version below 10, the Windows command console doesn’t support output coloring by default. You could install either Cmder, ConEmu, ANSICON or Mintty (used by default in GitBash and Cygwin) to add coloring support to your Windows command console.
Windows 10 and later - Command Line Colors
Starting from Windows 10 the Windows console support ANSI Escape Sequences and some colors by default. The feature shipped with the Threshold 2 Update in Nov 2015.
Update (05-2019): The ColorTool enables you to change the color scheme of the console. It’s part of the Microsoft Terminal project.
