A second way would be

Code:

DrawColorString("",0,5,FOREGROUND_RED | FOREGROUND_GREEN);

using this function:

Code:

void DrawColorString(string szText, int X, int Y, WORD color)
{	
   HANDLE OutputH;										
	COORD position = {X, Y};							
	OutputH = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);			
	SetConsoleTextAttribute(OutputH, color);			
	SetConsoleCursorPosition(OutputH, position);		
	cout << szText;
