if you haven't aready found an answer here is one of the things I've found
to do this....function name is SetConsoleTextAttribute()


#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>


void SetColor()
{
HANDLE hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
WORD wColors = FOREGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_RED | BACKGROUND_GREEN | BACKGROUND_BLUE
| BACKGROUND_INTENSITY;
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole,wColors);
cout << "Testing....Red Text on White Background" << endl;
}
int main()
{

SetColor();
return(0);
}
