In conio.h, there is a function called textattr(int) that will do what
you want. It's even simpler to use textcolor(int) and
textbackground(int) as they are more user-friendly subfuctions (bad
description) of textattr.

// the following code will change the text to bright white on blue

#include <conio.h>

void main (void)
{
 textcolor(15);
 textbackground(1);
}
