If you are working in VC++, then use

 SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0); //replace the 0 with a number for the color you want
 
cout << "Your text here" << endl;

These are some color codes

#define BLACK 0
#define BLUE 1
#define GREEN 2
#define CYAN 3
#define RED 4
#define MAGENTA 5
#define BROWN 6
#define LIGHTGREY 7
#define DARKGREY 8
#define LIGHTBLUE 9
#define LIGHTGREEN 10
#define LIGHTCYAN 11
#define LIGHTRED 12
#define LIGHTMAGENTA 13
#define YELLOW 14
#define WHITE 15

And in Linux, have a look at the ncurses library.
