Color console - is this possible in near future?

[Zbigniew Komarnicki]

Hi

Would it be possible that in the near future would 
be available in the Octave console color?

I tried to do the test in the Octave console color 
using ANSI escape codes but the console did not even 
wrote out the text. Is this behavior is normal that 
even the text was not printed on the console? 
Is this a bug in the implementation? Please see 
the screen shot: "color_test_octave.jpeg".

For a change, I did a test in Matlab and there 
colored console is implemented. Please see 
the screen shot: "color_test_matlab.jpeg". 

Is the color in the near future console would be 
available in Octave to be more close (compatible) 
with Matlab?

Try this:
fprintf(1,'\033[31mThis is a test.\033[36m Here another color.
\033[37;41;1m Now is background color and white bold.\033[0m\n');
