How to change colour of font?

-----------------------------------

Hello All!
I was wondering how to change the font colour in Micrsoft Visual C++
I am making a connect four so I need to have two different colours indicating player 1 and player 2.
Thanks!

I believe there is a tutorial on gamedev.net called something like c++ workshop that goes through this in one of the lessons. You are using the command line right?

Might I recommend different characters for the players instead?

Changing the color is part of the console API. I suggest searching MSDN. It pretty much covers everything you could possibly want to know about windows so you should be able to find what your looking for.
