Answer 2

if you want to change colours in c++ with strings, look at this : 

For unix systems : 

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

string colourtext = "\033[32mcoloured text" <-- \033[xxm is the ansi escape code for colours for unix systems.

int main() {

cout << colourtext;

return 0;

}

For Windows, you would use:

// with <cstdlib> library for system() 

system("color xx");

Hope this helped.

Answer 3

You can do this using ANSI Escape Codes. To do this, you need to add, or concatenate, "\033m[38;2;" + <r> + ";" + <g> + ";" + <b> + "m" + <text> + "\033[0m", where <r>, <g>, and <b> are your R, G, and B values respectively and <text> is the string you want to color. "\033m[0m" is necessary to return the style to normal, otherwise all text after would also be colored. You can easily do this using a function.

Code:

#include <iostream>

void rgbText(std::string text, int r, int g, int b) {
      
      //adds color to the text  
      std::cout << "\033[38;2;" << r << ";" << g << ";" << b << "m" << text << "\033[0m" << std::endl;

}

int main() {

      rgbText("This is Cyan!", 0, 255, 255); //Cyan Color

      rgbText("This is Red!", 255, 0, 0); //Red Color

      return 0;

}

Output:

This is Cyan!

This is Red!
