I once read an article that a person used acetate to
change the color of the text on a TRS-80. Have you
tried this? This method is language independent. :-)

You change the ribbon in the Decwriter hard-copy console of a VAX
11/780. This method is independent of operating system and programming
language.

Note that if you buy cheap ribbons, you may end up with output
having a color (what most Americans see) that does not match its
colour (what most Europeans see). This makes possible insults which
change text depending on the eye of the beholder.
