interesting.... running the MinGW 3.6.2 octave-forge package I get:

octave:1> fprintf(1, [char(27), ...
>           '[31mThis is a test.', ...
>            char(27), ...
>           '[36m Here another color.', ...
>            char(27), ...
>           '[37;41;1m Now is background color and white bold.', ...

>           '[0m\n']);

←[31mThis is a test.←[36m Here another color.←[37;41;1m Now is background color and white bold.←[0m
<ar(27),'[37;41;1m Now is background color and white bold.',char(27),'[0m\n']);

all in black and white. is that just a function of the console or default config that this version uses? running it from the Windows cmd shell or Windows Powershell does the same.
