Look up conio.h with a text editor. You'll find several #define statements in the middle of the file defining colors 1-15 (the DOS colors - I'm assuming you're doing DOS programming) with names like #define CYAN 3, etc....
Most C++ runtime library i/o systems should support this in some way or another, most likely through a function parameter.

C++ does support it. and the windows version works better than the conio version.
simple code to output colored text.
#include <windows.h> // always include this it helps.
void Gcoloredtext()
{
HANDLE hStdout;
hStdout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
int G = 128;
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hStdout, G); // blue bg, white text
printf("Blue Background with White text");
int R = 7;
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hStdout, R); // reset to grey.
};
c++->visualc++->directx->opengl->c++;
(it should be realized my posts are all in a light hearted manner. And should not be taken offense to.)
I found it, it was cprintf();
Thanks for everyone's help
