Use the conio.h functions, such as textcolor(), textbackground(), and
textattr().  You can look up the full set of conio functions in the libc
docs ("info libc func conio").  Please note that conio and stdio
functions are incompatible; you should not mix them without considering
the results.  In particular, color changes will have no effect on text
printed via printf(), putchar(), puts(), etc.
