Here's something I found after a quick google search. There is a snippet around here somewhere as well.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
 
int main()
{
   SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0); //replace the 0 with a number for the color you want
 
   cout << "Your text here" << endl;
 
   return 0;
}

I've seen the code on some 20 year old page on microsoft.com a while back on how to do it, and it's a little more involved than that snippet there... I do have it around somewhere, but wouldn't a google search be easier, or even microsoft.com search?
