Changing Text Color In C/C++ Programming Language

Are you a newbie programmer learning C/C++ Programming Languages. Here is a new trick for you to make others and your classmates surprise. This trick will tell you, how you can change the Text Color, Blink a Text, or Change the Background Color.

textcolor function is used to change the color of drawing text in c programs.

Declaration :- void textcolor(int color);
where color is an integer variable. For example 0 means BLACK color, 1 means BLUE, 2 means GREEN and soon. You can also use write appropriate color instead of integer. For example you can write textcolor(YELLOW); to change text color to YELLOW. But use colors in capital letters only.

A List of Color codes can be found here : Color-Table

1. C programming code to change text color

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
 
void main()
{
   textcolor(RED);
   cprintf("C programming");
 
   getch();
   
}

2. C programming code to BLINK the Text

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
 
void main()
{
   textcolor(MAGENTA+BLINK);
   cprintf("C programming");
 
   getch();
   
}

Note that we have used cprintf function instead of printf. This is because cprintf send formatted output to text window on screen and printf sends it to stdin.
