How change text colour?

How can I change the output text colour?
Here is part of example source code:
....
textcolor(4);
cout << "text";
....

The "cout" doesn't work with "textcolor".
I don't want to use "cprintf".
Thanx.

There is no way in standard C++. Screen attributes (text colour included)
are not controlled by any language construct but by OS-specific means.
Please post your question to a newsgroup that deals with your OS.

There exists no such thing as "colour" in Standard C++.
